I found this book free one day when I was looking for new authors.It is collection of short stories by multiple authors and is far above the norm that I've encountered in e-books. It's really well edited, very professional, and the stories ranged from making the hair on the back of my neck stand up to bringing tears to my eyes to making me laugh out loud.
If the purpose was to get me to go look up other e-books by these authors, it worked.

Spring Fevers Matt Sinclair Robb Grindstaff Cat Woods Calista Taylor RC Lewis 9780985202316 Books Reviews
This is a great collection of short stories that left you wanting more each time one finished. Its got intrigue, happiness, humor, sadness, and witty sarcasm. I liked each individual story and got a feel for the different writing styles of each author. Where some stories were light hearted, others were deep. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a short read on a busy day.
(Trigger warning for discussions of rape.)
One in a series of seasonally-themed short fiction anthologies, the stories found in SPRING FEVERS revolve around the idea of spring “Spring is the time of new beginnings, new life, new love. And fevers can result in pain, unexpected visions, and an appreciation for health and normalcy.” Relationships take center stage from the shy first bloom of new love, with all the exciting possibilities it entails, to love long since withered, left for dead, and buried. Relationships between parents and children, husbands and wives, ideas and their creators, the government and the governed, the oppressed and their oppressors; the stories run the gamut, and span multiple genres fantasy, supernatural, science fiction, historical fiction, contemporary fiction.
SPRING FEVERS first caught my attention because it includes a contribution by Mindy McGinnis. I absolutely adore her debut novel, NOT A DROP TO DRINK, and hoped that “First Kiss” would help to tide me over until the release of IN A HANDFULL OF DUST this fall. A supernatural rape revenge story, “First Kiss” is by far my favorite creepy, unexpected, and very satisfying. At the current going price of zero dollars, you should check out SPRING FEVERS for this one alone.
I also enjoyed J. Lea Lopez’s “The Adventures of Sasquatch,” in which the protagonist – who is pushing 40 – still struggles to overcome teenage angst and self-doubt. (“‘It’s not a competition.’ That’s the one thing people get wrong about women. We’re never really trying to compete with each other, only ourselves, our own insecurities.”)
A.M. Supinger’s “The Pit” handily sets the stage for a medieval-dystopian series (also with elements from the rape revenge genre), and “Only by Moonlight” (also by A.M. Supinger) sees a distraught young woman entreating the magical Stone House Lady for an abortion (again the product of a rape. Rape isn’t as common a theme in SPRING FEVERS as my review might lead you to believe; and thankfully, it’s always alluded to, never described in detail.) Last but not least, Supinger’s “The Tree of Life” is a rather beautiful and melancholy tale about a phantom spirit who’s trapped in this realm to assist The Tree of Life in bringing forth new creatures. Long since tired of his role and yearning for release, he finds a renewed sense of purpose in the ethereal beings who emerge from the Tree’s delicate white eggs.
SPRING FEVERS is a fairly solid collection, with contributions ranging from fair to outstanding. The only piece I didn’t much care for was “Step Zero,” in which some jerk cheats on his wife (with his secretary! walking cliche much?), who inexplicably gives him a second chance.
There is also some rapey stuff in “Dreams” that I could have done without; namely, the narrator talks about wanting to grope (read sexually assault) an unconscious woman who’s passed out on his couch. “But I didn’t, either because I’m a considerate guy or just a total chickens*** dweeb who doesn’t have the mansack to grab a handful when the chick is passed out cold on my couch and pissed off at her boyfriend and she didn’t look like she would’ve minded much anyway.” Allow me to broach a third possibility you are d-bag. (To be fair, perhaps we’re supposed to read this character as a d-bag, but I didn’t get that impression from the rest of the otherwise humorous story.)
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 on .
Fantastic read and difficult to put down.
Each contributor paints a different picture of what it means to be a human being who loves. Each unique tale tells us who we are. Each reader who selects this anthology will be better for having done so.
All authors had varied styles making the book interesting and attention grabbing. I found myself reading the entire book in a few hours...really great job!
I bought this book when I discovered the publisher's website and to my delight, found that the writers featured in the collection are exceptionally skilled in their craft. Each story is unique and the book as a whole is highly readable. Solid writing has not been lost in the modern age and there are artists who care deeply about the written word as evidenced by this fine collection of short stories.
My sister's short story appears in this anthology and I bought the book out of loyalty to her. I wasn't disappointed.
Each short story is thought-provoking and made all the richer for appearing alongside other--vastly different--stories on the same theme relationships. Anyone who loves or has loved will find something in Spring Fevers that speaks to them personally. Additionally, this anthology is a collection of nearly all the different genres, so no matter your reading taste, you can enjoy the snippets of goodness found within.
And the best news? I hear tale that a new collection from EBP will be released in the fall!
