5.0 out of 5 stars A Book rather than a magazine.

I really liked reading the stories in this book. Some of them reminded me of the old 60's tv show "The Twilight Zone".

One of the stories I especially like is "The Angry Blue Planet: Genesis" to be continued in vol.2. Also "A Different Palette" which starts out somewhat serious but then gets kind of zany with cartoon characters.
For such a short story "Lost Little Girl" is very well written and sounds like it could lead to a longer story.

If you like war stories, "Magog" and "In Another World With My Tank" are both entertaining.
By the way this book is for "12 and Up" not just to 18. I am way beyond 18.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Little Collection
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2024
A difficult aspect in writing a short story is hitting the sweet spot between getting enough worldbuilding and interesting dynamics in a limited number of words to keep a reader’s interest while not adding so many details and mysteries that the story doesn’t have enough time to breathe.
Phantom Whispers Vol. 1, a short story compilation containing works by Ian Nol and others, tries to tread this line in creating strange and captivating scenarios that bring one from the realms of a surreal medieval world to planets where the usual laws of physics do not apply. There are 11 short stories in the collection, ranging from a serial to be continued in the next issue to shorter, flash-fiction length stories. They all encompass a Fantasy / Horror / Sci-Fi genres and every story has an illustration or two that spans from horrifying to hilarious. Props to the cover illustration also, which is incredibly cozy.
The standouts of the collection were:
The Bait – Robert Gannon packs a huge amount of punch in few words, but smartly keeps the theme small, focusing on a mother and her son. There are whispers of evil forces at work all around them, and the story fills enough detail to give the reader a deep sense of peril and dread over the powerful forces overwhelming the characters.
Esca – Ian Nol sets the theme where you know something terrible is going to happen, and it’s just a matter of what. Alongside some hints are thrown here and there before the savage climax where it feels like you should have seen it coming. A fun, quick horror story.
Those from the Outside – This did a great job at worldbuilding, and had a frantic, humorous energy to it. One gets the feeling of being a tourist in the strange world the protagonist finds himself in, witnessing the surface level while glimpsing some aspects of a deeper and more immersive lore.
A Different Palette – “What if cartoon physics was real?” this amusing short story asks. The protagonist, a gruff general plays the perfect straight man in witnessing this wild world he finds himself immersed in. While a serious man, he’s hardly two-dimensional though (ha!). The best part was the descriptive prose, like someone making a play-by-play of a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

A solid collection, written by people in our circles.
