With the exception of the dystopian stories near the beginning, this is a wonderful collection of Oz remixes. Two near the end were my favorites, Off to See the Emperor by Orson Scott Card and The Cobbler of Oz by Jonathan Maberry.

I especially liked Seanan McGuire's "#CONNOLLYHOUSE #WE SHOULDN'T BE HERE" which managed to give me chills with only a series of tweets.
