An Overall Very Fine Collection of Short Stories

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

I can only hope there is a second volume for his collection.

"Stories for Nerds" surprised me. True, as an earlier stated, the stories vary in quality--but most are engaging, carry relevant themes, and have messages.

Special mention goes to "My Brother's Keeper," a story that conveys the honor of life.

A variety of sci-fi & fantasy short stories!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2022

This was a good read. There are plenty of stories that vary from sci-fi to fantasy and also vary in quality. Some stories are great (My Brother's Keeper & There Be Dragons) and some that are "filler" stories that are there to fill in between the great stories. I would recommend this book to fantasy and sci-fi fans...even if there are stories that aren't your "cuppa", there are some amazing reads inside and can only be found in this collection, so it's well-worth your time to read!!

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

A Blend of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Stories of Varying Quality

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2022

Context: I am an avid reader of both Sci-Fi and Fantasy, so reading this book was highly anticipated. It is a good blend of SF&F, but as the title of this review indicates, not all the stories were of equal quality. Some of the stories bored me to the point that I couldn't remember what I read 10 minutes after reading them. Others were "okay", but only "okay".

However, there were several stories in both genres that were well written and impactful. "My Brother's Keeper" by Raphyel Jordan and "The Butcher of Orcin..." (both military SF), as well as the fantasy stories "Parcel Twist" by Quincy Allen, "My Father's Sword" by MB Mooney, and "There Be Dragons" by Elle Beaumont all fall in that category for me. Those 5 stories comprise 38% of the stories in the collection; short of having a standout masterpiece, I typically consider an anthology to be worthwhile if at least 50% of the stories are impactful. Of course, these 5 represent my likes - the other 62% may have greater appeal for other readers!

I did receive an ARC of this anthology. That affected neither my opinion nor my voluntary review.

Stories for Nerds [& Non-Nerds Alike!] - Great, Quickish Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reads

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2022

*I was sent a free book and am voluntarily leaving this honest review*
I gave this 4* because although the stories were good, some of them I found outside of my interest due to violence and there were some typos that interrupted but, didn't take away from, the quality of the stories. This was a great collection of shortish stories covering the range of sci-fi & fantasy, with my faves being: The Biggest Mermaid by Abby Goldsmith; Last Of Her Kind by Abby Goldsmith, Raphyel M. Jordan, Scott Parkin; Parcel Twist by Quincy J. Allen; and There Be Dragons by Elle Beaumont. These stories were captivating with imagery and storytelling so vivid that when it ends you wonder what happened next and sad the adventure has come to an end. I hope these 4, especially, are extended to be longer short stories!

A Great anthology from beginning to end!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 4, 2022

If you love science fiction you’re going to love this anthology. My favorite was my brothers keeper but they are all great stories. From the first to the last story you will be riveted and glued to your seat. They are different worlds different species with different abilities and it’s all interesting and a certain must read for any sci-fi fan. I truly enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It’s rare for every story to be interesting but that is definitely the case with“Stories for nerds“ I receivedthis Book from Book Sirens and a Expy Books and I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I and blind and dictate my review but all opinions are definitely my own.

Great diversity of characters and worlds

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2021

As a self-proclaimed "book dork", I jumped at the chance to read and review an ARC of "Stories For Nerds: A Science Fiction & Fantasy Anthology". I'm glad I did. The stories are all well-written, some by a single author or others written collaboratively. I did not expect such a diversity of characters, from aliens and A.I.s to mermaids, faeries, elves, dragons, and gnomes, but I enjoyed how they all developed throughout the stories. It was fun to visit so many "worlds", and I was pleased to meet so many strong and smart female characters. There's something for everyone here: action, adventure, and intrigue, as well as stories that make you think and stories that evoke emotion.
I can't pick just one favorite, but the following are on my list in order by when they appeared in the book: "Not In Their Nature"; "Last of Her Kind"; "Parcel Twist"; "Value"; and "A Pocketful of Sky". Honestly, I liked every single story, which is rare for me in an anthology. Congratulations to all of the authors. I would recommend "Stories For Nerds" to anyone who enjoys Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Great variety...well worth the read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2022

This book had a great variety of different characters, tropes, and plots, and that's one of the things I love about anthologies. As always, some were spot on and resonated with me, others were different and intriguing, and some were (apologies to the authors) forgettable (to me). That said, people's tastes are different, so what appealed to me may not work for you, and vice versa. I think with the variety that everyone will find stories they enjoy in this set. It's well worth the read.
