PRAISE FOR THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY OF THE YEAR SERIES 'A demonstration of all that can be found' - THE GUARDIAN 'Strahan has hit them all out of the park in this series' - REACTOR 'A trusted and indefatigable gleaner' - LOCUS 'Eclectic stories, expertly selected' - KIRKUS REVIEWS A librarian helps a desperate student find the door into a book; Sir Thomas Moore's head is stolen and a messy rescue ensues; a mother sells a piece of her memory so her daughter can afford an education. Science fiction is the story of what if and what comes next. It's more playful, more inclusive and more entertaining than it has ever been before and as the world falls apart around us, it offers us a chance to understand how things could be better, or just how a great story can get us through another night. The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Thirteen brings together the very best clashes between zombies and unicorns, robots and fairies, spaceships and more in a definitive volume that takes us everywhere from the distant future and the moons of our own solar system, to one last visit to Earthsea... Featuring stories from Kelly Barnhill, Elizabeth Bear, Brooke Bolander, Zen Cho, P. Djèlí Clark, John Crowley, Andy Duncan, Jeffrey Ford, Daryl Gregory, Alix E. Harrow, Maria Dahvana Headley, Simone Heller, S. L. Huang, Dave Hutchinson, N. K. Jemisin, T. Kingfisher, Naomi Kritzer, Rich Larson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Yoon Ha Lee, Ken Liu, Carmen Maria Machado, Annalee Newitz, Garth Nix, Naomi Novik, S. Qiouyi Lu, Kelly Robson, Vandana Singh, Tade Thompson and Alyssa Wong.
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 find 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 *
