As one of the millions who suffer from depression and anxiety, Kinds of Blue disturbingly hits home. Published by Hive Mindedness Media, this anthology offers up a candid, almost voyeuristic, view into the lives of individuals battling depression and how each deal with the crushing feeling of melancholy. As is the problem with most anthologies, not all of the entries are up to caliber.

But the sight of Max, Andrex's "lead puppy", going green marks a significant shift.
