A wonderful collection of unique and and interesting stories, and all pretty consistently good. A great introduction to the genre.

These stories were all pretty good. There wasn't one among them that I just didn't like, which is pretty rare in a collections like this. There's always one that I just don't get into at all - but not here!

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

Scott Gable has put together an impressive line-up of weird speculative fiction that fits within the genres of horror, science fiction, fantasy and dark fiction settling between these.

Nowheresville is an odd collection that works whilst dealing with people in general congregated in huge groups whilst dealing with the individual within each story as they try to manoeuvre through their lives. The stories have an odd quality and I am not too familiar with speculative fiction. I quite enjoyed it though as this is something that I am new to, it took me a few stories to get into the pace and style. This is a well-constructed anthology with ebbs and flows. For me it was quite uneven but I am sure this is more down my inexperience than substance of the stories.

There is a lot to be enjoyed and tried and this has become a subgenre that I now have interested pique into. I think overall that this is well put together and even though I have finished reading each and every story, I will be revisiting to give it more attention. Personally, I think this garners a strong four star rating.
