Reviews

"If you like faeries of all types, then this is the anthology for you!
I believe that there is a story here for everyone’s taste and highly recommend it."
 5 Tombstones, Becky, Bittenbybooks.com

"At last a book that gives the real Fairy their moment in the spotlight."
5 Lyres, Recommended Read!, Penny Ash, Rites of Romance Reviews

"Bad-Ass Faeries is a gripping anthology full of magic and mayhem, and who better to give it to you than these rotten, sometimes beautiful, sometimes horrifying Faeries? These authors know just what they’re doing and they fully used their magic on me!"
5 Angels/Recommended Read!, CJ, Fallen Angel Reviews

"Here are nineteen Faerie tales which in no way resemble the cute little faeries of our childhood...
all of them have a serious twist that I could not help but be fascinated by.
A terrific anthology that I am proud to recommend!
4 1/2 stars, Detra Fitch, The Huntress Reviews

"Bad-Ass Faeries offers a fresh look at a pervasive denizen of our mythological subconscious.
Much as in Peter Pan, the collection will leave the readers applauding, cheering,
“I believe in bad-ass faeries.”" —
4 stars, Alyce Wilson, Wild Violet | Mortal Coil Reviews

"In Bad-Ass Faeries, the fair folk have returned to their roots. The range of characters was fascinating and each story was like a little present, waiting to be opened, surprises hiding inside."
4 talismans, Christine Norris, Tales of the Talisman Magazine

Reviews

"There is more than enough great SF in Breach the Hull for any true fan of the genre, military or not."
Will McDermott, author of Lasgun Wedding

"I enjoyed this book and heartily recommend it." Sam Tomaino, Space and Time Magazine

"Pick up Breach the Hull. You're sure to find stories that you like." Dave Sherman, author of the DemonTech Series and co-author of the Starfist series

"[Breach the Hull] kicks down the doors in a way that allows anyone access to the genre[...]it read like a bunch of soldiers sitting around swapping stories of the wars. Fun, fast-paced, and packed with action. I give it a thumbs up." Jonathan Maberry, the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Ghost Road Blues

"[Breach the Hull] is worth the purchase. I normally don’t partake of anthologies as a general rule...but Mike McPhail has done a great job in making me rethink this position." Peter Hodges


"Breach the Hull is full of excellent stories, no two of which are the same. While similar themes
crop up throughout, each writer has managed to take the subgenre and make it his own."

—John Ottinger III, Grasping for the Wind
