Review

"I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. Ranging from alien abduction to imaginary friends, the stories are refreshing, thoughtful, and often hilarious. Each story is well written, with a plot twist or ending that is unexpected. The stories range in genre from sci-fi to mystery. Easy to pick up a chapter, this has me hoping to find more short story collections."
-Jessica V, NetGalley reviewer
 
"If you're a fan of short story collections, this is the book for you. Bailey brings freshness to each story in "Upon a Waking Dream" as well as bright and clever ideas. I think this fits the sci-fi genre beautifully and has some stories that are really bound to make you think about the way we view the world and the people that surround us!"
-Sarah L, NetGalley reviewer
 
"I really enjoyed this collection of short stories! They were fun, whimsical, and easy to read. Daily Log from Outpost #602 made me laugh out loud at the end. I also really enjoyed the bit at the end of the book about how the author came up with each story."
-Kira H, NetGalley reviewer
