I like the writing in this anthology. The writers though all very different share an important characteristic - they are acutely observant. The stories are surprising; always good in fiction but often rare. The subject matter is unexpected. I like the story about the sculpture very much. But the whole thing is a great read.

With their second anthology, the Year Zero Writers have stepped up their game, consistently producing the most groundbreaking and challenging independent fiction out there. This is DIY done right.
As varied and divergent as the individual offerings are, they are organized around a single unifying concept: pain. And make no mistake about it, this is not light, feel-good reading for a lazy afternoon. Nor, at the same time, is it hollow, superficial emo posturing. These pieces represent challenging, multi-layered explorations of those dark corners of the mind where our fears, our insecurities, our guilt, and our prejudices hide. They force us to stare down those aspects of the human condition we'd rather not think about, to dwell on them, let them linger in our thoughts. Because ultimately, if we do not own up to our demons, then we let our demons own us.
