Booked. They've traveled the country tirelessly for two years, with stops in Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, Milwaukee, L.A., North Korea, The Dark Side of the Moon, and damn near every Waffle House along the way, all in order to bring you, the listener, over 150 episodes, over 75 authors. They've won awards, covered scoops, scandals, archived hours of authors acting badly. They've broken a few hearts on this journey - their voices can be like Russian Roulette in the headphones of the unsuspecting - but now they've called in their markers to leave their own stain on the literary landscape. And you're holding it in your hands, or your hook, which would probably tear the hell out of lesser books. But not this one. All original stories, multiple genres, never been seen, never been read. It's their way of giving back. Although these authors probably consider it more like theft. The Booked. Anthology. There's a period in the middle because it's that serious to say it out loud. Featuring Stories by: TW Brown, Craig Clevenger, Chris Deal, Joshua Alan Doetsch, Christopher J Dwyer, Sean P Ferguson, Matthew C Funk, Michael Paul Gonzalez, Amanda Gowin, Nikki Guerlain, Seth Harwood, Kevin Lynn Helmick, Gordon Highland, Anthony David Jacques, David James Keaton, Nik Korpon, Bob Pastorella, Cameron Pierce, Mark Rapacz, Caleb J Ross, Axel Taiari, Richard Thomas, Paul Tremblay, Fred Venturini, and Craig Wallwork.

Well written Anthology

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

How could you possibly not like a story which starts with the first line "I love children... they taste like chicken"? Thus begins the entertaining sci-fi piece of TW Brown included in an anthology of very eclectic short stories. But of course what should an anthology be if not eclectic? A big highlight of this collection to me is that there is nary a zombie, werewolf or witch to be found anywhere (well, maybe one witch). For someone who started to read again, retiring after forty years of daily work and TV, with the gift of a Kindle from my family last year, finding a modern author to get interested in is not an easy task, especially for a person who has reached overkill by those three subjects. I could, of course, stay in my own world of Steinbeck, Vonnegut, Hemingway, Herbert, and the like but I thought it would be nice to at least attempt to venture into the realm of the present. Also, I am friends with one of the authors whose story, I am delighted to say, is one of the highlights of the anthology with a wonderful mix of humor and pathos. I had to be honest in my review so I only gave the work four stars mainly because I'm a tough marker and I thought that there could have been a bit more humor in the selections. Only one story is written entirely for humor but this does not detract from the fact that the collection is extremely well written and most enjoyable. I found that the authors are not making a blessed cent from their writing but are using this as a showcase for their talents. Even though J.K. Rowling is a billionaire, I know how hard it would be to make a buck as a writer these days with internet time competing against books. The proceeds from the book cover the printing costs and the leftovers go to a literary charity. I think it's a worthwhile purchase.

Tremendously Well-written!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

This excellent book compiles 25 brilliantly written and assembled short stories into nearly 400 pages of awesome. I do not work for Booked. or anyone else associated with this book but I did meet some of them at a live reading in Chicago and they are super cool people.
The stories are moving and intense and sweet and funny and interesting and engrossing (and I could write 25 different adjectives, one for each story, but I won't) but the one common thread I noticed throughout the whole anthology is how well-written and solid each story is. The characters and scenes each felt fully constructed and real.
Keep an eye out for the authors included in this book because it won't be long before they are hitting the big time, and you can say, "I read them before they were famous."
Also, be sure to check out page 374! Great stuff!

Excellent Collection.

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2015

An anthology of 25 short stories clocking-in at almost 400 pages. I have to admit I do frequently listen to the Booked podcast, and I think their knowledge of the writing craft - and therefore the people they chose to include here - was a perfect example of synergy.

Fantastic collection of stories

Their podcast is the best of its kind and this collection of stories is just delightful. They just surpassed 200 episodes of the podcast (yep, 200) and this anthology is the perfect companion.

Great introduction to some talented independent authors

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013

This anthology has several great moments in it. The first story, Pound of Flesh sets the mood well, with a quote "Sometimes, love isn't diamonds or gold, it isn't handwritten cards and surprise, romantic excursions. Sometimes love is deciding whether to take your wife's teeth out with a pipe wrench, or brain her with it." Right away they get your attention and let you know that this anthology is going to be a bit different. It's dark, mysterious, creepy at times but most importantly, strong stories from front to back.

Some of my favorites from the anthology are Scenes from the City of Garbage and City of Clay, Think Tank, Faces on the Milk Carton, The Mulligan, Noir's City, Dragon by the Dumpster, One Shot, and I'm sure a few others that I loved that I'm missing. Just from that list, there are crime stories, sci-fi, drama, horror, and thrillers. The only theme throughout the anthology is that they are damn good stories. Some stories are exceptionally great but there's really not a bad story in the mix. If you're looking for some good independent authors to support this is a great place to find some. Also, you should definitely check out this podcast as a continuing source for good books and insightful thoughts on them. Robb and Livius know what they're talking about.

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2014

This tremendous collection of dark noir stories not only complement one another but almost seem to feed off each other as well. This anthology captures an amazing moment in time not only for Booked Podcast but for the writers involved, several of who have done great things already and I'm sure will continue to do even greater things for years to come. Not a boring page exist here. A must have.
