The 2017 ImmerseOrDie Anthology. Each year we hand-pick 50 of today's top indie authors and ask them to submit a story. Then we ask a team of ruthless judges to scour that ore and pick out the gems. The result is All These Shiny Worlds II: a world of today where cosplay and stagecraft are bright lights hiding dark shadows a world of tomorrow, where kitchen appliances fend for themselves and take solace in each other's arms, refugees from indifferent owners a world of little cogs in big machines, where the humble trash collector is the unsung hero of getting evil done a world of small magics and big hearts, where a little chaos can go a long, long way From the brutal curators at ImmerseOrDie.com comes another collection of indie short stories, each a distinct jewel forged in the fires of judgment, and all continuing to carry our one simple promise: Guaranteed not to suck.
