Reviews

"An almost unheard-of diversity of tales absolutely sing in this superlative anthology..." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"If these annual best-of anthologies indicate where speculative fiction is heading, readers should be excited for the future of the genre...These are stories to take your breath away, to make you laugh, to bring you to despair, to give you hope, to creep you out, and even to break your heart...all are interesting, vibrant, and worthy." -- Booklist, starred review
