Love, Death + Robots
I feel like a madwoman because I could have sworn this list existed. I couldn't find it, so here you go. Some notes: Most of these are short stories. I decided to put in all the anthologies I could find them in into this book because I think it'd be cool to read similar works. I've also included, of course, the official collections published by Cohesion Press.
