Frequently asked questions
What makes this anthology unique compared to other 'best of' collections?
This particular volume is notable for its inclusion of stories translated from other languages, offering a broader international perspective on fantasy and horror than many contemporary English-language anthologies. It also features a significant number of stories from smaller literary magazines and journals, highlighting emerging voices alongside established authors.
Does this collection lean more towards fantasy or horror?
The collection is carefully balanced, with Ellen Datlow curating the horror selections and Kelly Link handling the fantasy. This dual editorship ensures that both genres receive equal attention and depth, rather than one overshadowing the other, providing a comprehensive overview of the year's best in both fields.
