Brandon Nolta is a writer, editor, tech geek and connoisseur of procrastination. He inhabits the Pacific Northwest, much like Sasquatch or the fabled tree octopus, and occasionally sends out a rambling screed or two. His fiction, poetry and other scribblings have appeared in Stupefying Stories, Digital Science Fiction, The Pedestal Magazine, and many others. His first novel, Iron and Smoke, was published in January 2015 by Montag Press, and his second book, a collection of short fiction titled These Shadowed Stars, was released in 2020.
At age five, Lillian Csernica discovered the Little Golden Books fairy tales. From there she moved on to the works of Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Tanith Lee, and Terry Pratchett.

Lillian has gone on to publish over forty short stories in such markets as Fantastic Stories, Killing It Softly 1 and 2, and After the Happily Ever After. Her Christmas ghost story "The Family Spirit" appeared in Weird Tales #322 and "Maeve" appeared in #333.
Lillian's two nonfiction ebooks, The Writer's Spellbook: Creating Magic Systems for Fantasy and The Fright Factory: Building Better Horror, provide nuts and bolts instruction in the techniques of writing those genres.

Like any collection of short stories by various authors, there are always some that you like more than others. I feel like this presented a good variety and that there is probably something in here for every fantasy story fan. I cannot say that I loved every story in the book, but I did enjoy reading every story, even when it was something different from what I typically like. That is the nice thing about short stories, you can try out something a little different from your normal picks without having to invest a tremendous amount of time or money by purchasing and reading an entire novel.
I am not going to go through each story and give my opinion. I feel like that is something that each individual reader needs to discover for themselves. What I will say is that there is a decent enough variety, that if you like the fantasy genre, you would not be wasteful in purchasing and reading this collection.
I felt like some of the writing was better than others, that some of the stories were easier to read than others, and that some of the ideas were better developed than others.
Overall, I would recommend this to any fantasy genre fan. If nothing else, it gives you the opportunity to sample some different flavors without a tremendous investment.
I received Uncommon Senses: Digital Fantasy Fiction Anthology (Digital Fantasy Fiction Short Stories Series One Book 1) at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review. :) I hope that my review is helpful and know that I was in no way swayed by the discounted price. I try to truthfully describe and critique the item to the best of my ability, and usually with a personal touch. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Hopefully it helped!
The Desire of All Things didn’t engross me, I didn’t care about the characters and wasn’t enchanted, dazzled, even amused or whatnot by the strange/uncommon. Plus, the ending felt a little flat to me. Lord Giovanni’s Daughter was a thoroughly enjoyable rip-roaring action adventure start to finish, a story one of my brothers would’ve devoured and gabbed on and on about until I read it too. Toward Inevitable Dawn was pretty much perfect and is a story that sticks with me. Definitely my favorite of the bunch. It’s so worth reading that even if that were the only good story in this collection, I’d still recommend getting the book.
There is a Season was so-so, came across as something written by a talented young person who was still in school. I didn’t feel anything, and that removal from the experience worked against it. Black Horticulture was extremely fun. I’d love to read stories about either main character from before or after they meet, as well as more tales of their time together. Given my friendly relationship with the dead and all the people I miss, you’d think The Blue Rocker would’ve connected with me more than it did, but I can’t pinpoint why it didn’t. The Magic of Money tried hard, but the cleverness of it felt too forced rather than fun.
Overall I enjoyed reading this. Even the stories I didn’t like as much didn’t detract and I can easily see other people perhaps liking those more than I did. The stories that were great were exceptionally great. I’m going through a hard time right now and this book was pretty good at helping me unwind a bit so my head didn’t explode from all the stress. Anything that does that is definitely worth the time spent. I received this at a free or discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. To clarify how I view the rating system, five stars = A, four stars = B, three stars = C, two stars = D, and one star = F. If you found this review helpful, please click yes below as I do my best to share my experience of the book with you.
For me, it was maybe a half hour read per chapter, which I thought was a good length. I only give four stars instead of five because while the stories were interesting, it was nothing truly mind blowing, and for books, I'm very picky about 5 star ratings. A couple of the stories were a little predictable in plot, but only in that you knew the skeptic, usually the narrator, was about to get proved wrong(because that's what the collection is about).
If you like fantasy but don't really feel like committing to one book, I really recommend this. Just reading a story or two every day is very satisfying. I was a little sad when I finished. I would definitely read another collection by this group.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
