Clif Hall reviewed SNAFU: Punk'd by Alan Baxter (SNAFU, #13)
Running Out of Steam
3 stars
Alas, after 13 books this anthology series may finally be running out of steam. Perhaps it was the theme? Oh well, better luck next Halloween!

Published Oct. 31, 2023 by Cohesion Press.
SNAFU: Punk'd holds eighteen tales from some of the best authors working in action-horror today, with a slant towards cyberpunk, steampunk, biopunk, and other punk sub-genres you may or may not have heard of. Warriors fighting for their lives amongst the many-verse SNAFU always brings to the game. Think Bladerunner (cyberpunk), Naked Lunch (biopunk), the Crysis videogames (nanopunk), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (steampunk) and so on… anything that can be considered a high-action monster story set within an obviously ‘punk’ theme. Featuring, in alphabetical order: Alan Baxter, Amanda Bridgeman, C.J. Goldberg, Damien Mckeating, David W Amendola, Greg Chapman, James A Moore, Justin Coates, Kirsten Cross, Mark Renshaw, Matthew Freeman, Myna Chang, Pamela Jeffs, Richard Beauchamp, RPL Johnson, Steve Lewis, Torion Oey and' Zachary O'Shea.
