Superhero Universe (Tesseracts Nineteen) edited by Claude Lalumière & Mark Shainblum

Did you ever wish you had a super power?  Have you thought about the consequences?  This collection of stories will show you how to succeed, how to fail, and how to make the best of it.

Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing let read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published April 18th in both ebook or print form through Amazon.

Anthologies have always been a favorite of mine so I was happy to have the opportunity to read this one.  I wasn't disappointed by one story in this collection and there are a lot here.  I even found some I especially liked:

Blunt Instrument by Geoff Hart
Bloodhound by Marcelle Dube
Lost and Found by Luke Murphy
Crusher and Typhoon by Brent Nichols

Everyone has different tastes and these particular stories talked to me.  You may be touched by them or you may find your own favorites but there are enough stories to please everyone.

The author list is as follows:

John Bell, P. E. Bolivar, Kevin Cockle, Evelyn Deshane, Marcelle Dubé, Chadwick Ginther, Patrick T. Goddard, Kim Goldberg, Geoff Hart, Sacha Howells, Arun Jiwa, D. K. Latta, Michael Matheson, Bernard E. Mireault, Luke Murphy, Brent Nichols, David Perlmutter, Mary Pletsch & Dylan Blacquiere, Jennifer Rahn, Corey Redekop, Alex C. Renwick, Jason Sharp, Bevan Thomas, Leigh Wallace, and A. C. Wise.

Give it a read.  You might not want to be a superhero after all...
