The 2013 Book Mine Set Short Story Online Anthology

It's been another wonderful year of short story reading. This year's anthology is truly a mixed bag, with writers of varying degrees of popularity, many different genres, and geographical locations represented. Truly, there must be something on this list than anyone would like. The only thing they really have in common is that they were all found online, for free. Next year, why not consider joining me in Short Story Mondays and if you do, I encourage you to check some of these out. The links below take you to my thoughts on each story, but there you'll also find links to the stories themselves. 52 stories, just one a week...
