Resistance. Revolution. Standing up and demanding to have your space, your say, your right to be. From small acts of defiance to protests that shut down cities, Do Not Go Quietly is an anthology of science fiction and fantasy short stories about those who resist. Within this anthology, we will chronicle the fight for what is just and right, and what that means: from leading revolutions to the simple act of saying "No."Resistance can be a small act of everyday defiance. And other times, resistance means massive movements that topple governments and become iconic historical moments. Either way, there is power in these acts, and the contributors in Do Not Go Quietly will harness that power to shake our readers to the core. We are subordinates to a power base that is actively working to solidify its grip on the world. Now is the time to stand up and raise your voice and tell the world that enough is enough TABLE OF CONTENTS: FICTIONJohn Hornor Jacobs - "Glossolalia"A.

Neat concept with a solid mixture of settings. A few of the stories were good. Most were not to my taste and a few were so bad I skipped to the next one part way through. ( )
A bit of an oddity. A collection of short stories and poetry on the theme of victory in defiance. I’m not sure I liked it very much; some of the stories were rather grim (especially the version of The Little Match Girl) and in general I found it so-so. The poetry I thought was something of a waste of space.
There are a variety of settings within the anthology, some which you will be familiar with, others that feel fresh/new. The stories do not lead well into each other, it can feel like a very abrupt change and leave you slightly disoriented. There are some amazing short stories within this book, some that left me wishing I had not read them (very jarring and violent), and others that made me think about our current society and what was going on. The overall theme is to not give up and to fight for yourself/society/right/sometimes wrong. I am not disappointed that I read the book, but this is not a reread for me. ( )
Often with anthologies, I end up wishing they were less of a mixed bag. With this, though, I wish there was more variety. Not of the premises themselves -- there is quite the variety of visions -- but of tone. Many of these stories are so dark and violent, I found myself cringing and repressing the urge to fling the text away (or, this being an e-book, delete it from all my devices). If I hadn't had more than one death in the family this year, maybe I'd feel differently. ( )
