As with any multi-author anthologies there are stories you love and stories that don't appeal to you at all. The Flash Fiction Magazine provided a nice variety of stories.

This was a bit of a disappointment. As someone who has written flash fiction, I understand the challenge of telling a story of substance in a few words and some of these writers did just that. Unfortunately too many of the stories either miss the mark or in a few cases feel that a lack of writing ability will be overcome by using a ridiculous amount of profanity. There are some real gems here but to get to them you must weed through many that either bore or offend in a bad way. Sadly, I can't recommend the stories as a whole.
