Joe Hill establishes a high standard in the inaugural volume of the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy series. For me highlights include stories by Karen Russell, Seanan McGuire, Jo Walton, Neil Gaiman, Adam-Troy Castro, Kelly Link & T. C. Boyle. I will be reading future entries in this exciting series.
This Kelly Link story has several memorable, fantastic lines.
The most horrifying Pachinko game ever played. (Adam-Troy Castro)
The Marquis de Carabas wore a blanket as a substitute for his coat. He wore it swathed about him like Hell's own poncho. It did not make him happy.-Neil Gaiman
I just read Jo Walton's story "Sleeper" & greatly enjoyed it. I know she has published several trilogies. Recommendations?
This Karen Russell short story is f%$#!g brilliant. I've had "Swamplandia" on my TBR for awhile. Will be moving up with lightning speed.
Karen Russell
Jonathan Franzen, Zadie Smith, Donna Tartt? Fantasists all. Even those readers who would turn up their nose at a collection like this (perhaps to buy a copy of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's The Best American Short Stories instead) are fantasy enthusiasts, whether they know it or not.-Joe Hill
I'm a little hard pressed to think of a better opening paragraph in a recently published anthology. This is Joe Hill's introduction to the anthology he edited.
My 2 picks for October. Homegoing was phenomenal, and there were so many great/interesting/creative stories in the 2015 Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. I'm excited to read the 2016 collection, which came out this month! #bestofoctober #booktober
New book! And look at this cover! (Litsy didn't have this title included, but last year's edition was amaaazing.)
Happy 4th, litsy!
Reading one story or two between novels
Two stories from this stellar collection to be read at my local library. Every story offers great rewards; you won't be disappointed.
