Different Worlds, Different Skins, Volume 2: More of Humanity's Encounters with Other Races

This is a great collection of stories involving anthropomorphic animals. Altogether, this book contains 28 stories written by 22 different authors. Each story varies in length, the shortest being two pages (“Halloween Tricks”), the longest being 28 and a half (“World Collide”). The stories are all well written and I enjoyed reading them. There are funny stories, sad stories, and even ones that will leave you wondering, “What just happened?” The variety of styles make it likely that you’ll find some stories that you’ll love, and some you don't. You do not have to read the first volume to read this volume, as the stories are independent of each other.Stories in this collection (in order of appearance):“The Curse” by Saia Kferr“Swear Not By the Moon” by Ranee Carter Hall“The Wolf of the Hare That Bit Him” by Phil Geusz“The Orphan Shreds” by Wirewolf“Team Player” by Will A.

This collection of stories really get's you thinking. I saw it as a way of expressing what happens in areas of today society without getting certain groups of people made. Excellent, can't wait to start on volume 1.
