Customer Reviews

W-w-witpunk

I recently read this book after my good friend Nikki showed it to me. The first story she had me read was entitled Timmy and Tommy, and it was so twisted, yet normal, I loved it. I'd tell you more about the story, but I can't without ruining it for you. Witpunk is a collection of short stories with a sci-fi edge to them. Not all of them were quite "sci-fi" but they were still wonderfully written and really intrigued the reader. I reccommend this book for anyone who loves...anything. It's that good. Sure...not all the stories are the greatest, but some of them are worth finding.

Sardonic Fiction

If you're already a fan of Silverberg, Morrow, Cadigan, Di Filippo, Vukcevich etc. etc., you won't be disapointed. Most of the stories in this collection are gems, and I look forward more original anthologies from 4W8W in the future. A+
