From Del Rey Books and award-winning editor Ellen Datlow comes a collection of fifteen all-new short stories and a science fiction novella that serves as a virtual “best of the year” anthology. This compilation features twisted alternate histories, fractured fairy tales, topical science fiction, and edgy urban fantasy. In “Daltharee,” Jeffrey Ford crafts a chilling tale of a city in a bottle and its demented creator. Elizabeth Bear’s “Sonny Liston Takes the Fall” offers a poignant requiem for the heavyweight associated with his controversial loss to Cassius Clay. Margo Lanagan presents “The Goosle,” a dark twist on Hansel and Gretel. The novella “Prisoners of the Action” by Paul McAuley and Kim Newman explores a Guantanamo-like prison for extraterrestrial inmates. Among the contributors are both familiar names and emerging talents, all showcasing the vibrancy of speculative fiction today. Other stories include “The Elephant Ironclads” by Jason Stoddard, “Ardent Clouds” by Lucy Sussex, “Gather” by Christopher Rowe, and many more, illustrating that the genre is not only alive but thriving.
