Smashwords book reviews by Allen Taylor

  • Jake's Monthly- Bizarro Anthology on March 16, 2012

    Jake's monthly anthologies are great fun and good reading. His selections in stories are awesome. For a 16-year-old editor, he really knows what he's doing. I'd recommend any of his anthologies and especially the Bizarro anthology.
  • Jake's Monthly- Punk Anthology on March 16, 2012

    Great stories. I tried Jake's Punk Anthology just to see what kind of editor he was so I could determine whether or not to send him stories for another anthology. His story selections are awesome. Because he satisfied me with this anthology, I went ahead and submitted stories to his Bizarro anthology and purchased it as well. I'm on my way now to buy another anthology. Jake's got class.
