The <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>Four</strong> Fiction Anthology ~13~<br />

as wide in scope as all literature, and each true to their<br />

shared subject: the attempt to reconcile our world to the<br />

struggles of the human soul.<br />

The result is a collection of stories we have read and enjoyed<br />

since our website has been up and running, and we<br />

offer it freely to readers everywhere. This collection is not a<br />

definitive “Best of,” because, as much as we read, we couldn’t<br />

claim to have covered everything. Instead, think of The<br />

<strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>Four</strong> Fiction Anthology as a mixtape, a gift slipped<br />

into your hand in the hallway between classes by a friend<br />

who insists, “Trust me: You're gonna love this.” But you can<br />

skip freely between stories, reading in any order you choose,<br />

so maybe a mixtape is an outdated metaphor. Call it a CD,<br />

then, burnt on our desktop with tracks from all over the<br />

world of music. But a CD? Who’s going to know what that is<br />

in ten years? It's our playlist, then, our “cloud,” our whatever-will-come-next.<br />

These are the stories we have read and<br />

enjoyed and now press upon you, insisting that you read<br />

them.<br />

Trust us: You're gonna love this.<br />
