 FANTASTIC HOPE is a wonderful collection of stories from a great group of authors. They are full of science fiction and fantasy themes. So many different ideas and worlds are brought to the reader with these stories. You are able to enjoy stories full of things from zombies to omegas and many more wondrous things from these worlds.
I truly enjoyed all of the stories and would find it hard to just pick one as a favorite. This collection does contain a story by a few of my favorite authors and it was the drawing point for me. I am glad this collection caught my eye as I now have a few more authors to continue to enjoy. As a whole this is a good collection of stories. Each story pulls you in and keeps you engaged all the way to the end. There are many different characters and worlds to get lost in. Some stand out a bit more than others and some will have you wanting to visit their worlds in more depth. One particular story for me was from the Anita Blake series. I loved getting the quick look into that world again and seeing the characters that I know deal with a situation that may not require a whole book. Alongside that story you get many other ones with strong characters and plots. There is so much to enjoy from paranormal to fantasy in these stories. I loved the creativity in the worlds and the characters that these authors have encompassed these stories with.  This anthology is a great way to delve into some new authors. I was excited to see authors like Hamilton and Briggs contribute to this anthology and was pleased to get to enjoy many new authors. These stories are well written and keep your attention. Some will even have you longing for more.

This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.
