These Datlow/Windling collections were the best 'bests' ever! I've totally lost track of which ones I've read and which ones I haven't, though. This one was definitely new to me - and most of the stories were new to me as well - and mostly excellent.The 'Year' in question here was 1989. Apparently a...
Most of the stories were poorly written, one was ghastly. The stories themselves are amusing and thankfully short. I picked this edition because it includes a story from Joyce Carol Oates but I'm thinking maybe I should have tried one of the first two editions. This was nothing that will be remember...

Like most anthologies, some good stories, some just okay, some really not for me. I picked it up because it includes some authors I generally like, but their stories didn't out to be the ones I preferred.

I picked this up a few years ago when I was in Montreal. I read [b:Watership Down|76620|Watership Down|Richard Adams|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51891NA9PAL._SL75_.jpg|1357456] at such a young age, any animal tale in novel form attracts me.It's not a bad book, even for adults. Kilworth s...
This collection is pretty uneven. There are some really good stories and some not so good. The one that stands out in my mind is the Graham Masterson story, "The Seven Secret Senses" (I think that's the title). The protagonist is a young chef of Asian descent (yay) who gets approached by a strange, ...
This is the fifth? in a series of books comprised of short stories, all of which are re-tellings of fairy tales for adults. I wasn’t very wild about this one. Most of the stories seemed to go for the shock value more than anything else.
