""Winter in the City," edited by R.B. Wood and Anna Koon, is more than just an anthology—it's an exploration of what it means to exist in the liminal spaces of life and place. This collection of 18 short stories, each set in a different city during the harsh season of winter, offers a blend of dark speculative fiction that is as haunting as it is illuminating.

The cities in this anthology are not mere backdrops; they are vibrant characters, each pulsing with their own life, history, and peculiarities. From the frozen Seine in Paris to the snow-laden Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, each locale is brought to life with vivid prose and meticulous detail. Here is an analytical deep dive into the tales that make up this chilling masterpiece." --The Bookish Elf (Goodreads Review)

"An outstanding anthology of short stories, each one set in, and shaped by, a city. Every story here has a very original take on the anthology's premise, exploring the inner life of cities across the world. Dark fantasy, horror, surrealism, strands of science fiction, and profound strangeness - each writer brings something original in tales that explore the weird corners of reality at a party, the supernatural creatures flocking to a neighbourhood while looking for escape, the ravages of ice and snow and death in Paris, and the mysterious shapes found in snow, just to mention a few. All the stories are worth the price of admission, with memorable standouts by Anjum Noor Choudhury, Sam Rebelein, Sarah Read, Mike Allen, Brian Evenson, and more." --Maria Haskins
