PRAISE FOR THIS SERIES A demonstration of all that can be found: diversity of voice, subject and form; balance between new and established voices; work from a good range of original sources... Books as good as this should be of interest to any admirer of short fiction, regardless of genre * The Guardian *
Recommended as a retrospective and also as a fine collection of stories in and of itself. Strahan has hit them all out of the park in his Best of the Year series * Reactor *
Of the making of short fiction there is no end, and apparently no end of places to publish it, either, so as always it's good to have a trusted and indefatigable gleaner on our side * Locus *
Eclectic stories in speculative mode, expertly selected from a large and diverse output * Kirkus Reviews *
Jonathan Strahan has won praise for revitalising the idea of the annual anthology * Nerds of a Feather *
The standard is high throughout, and regardless of your own personal preferences, you will much to enjoy within a collection of stories that are designed to make us think about the way we are, and the way we could be * Fantasy Book Review *
