This review is from: Terry Carr's Best Science Fiction of the Year, No 14, 1984 (Paperback)
A better than usual anthology this one, and also from the mid-80's, so more impressive for that, the average being 3.88 overall. 13 stories, and four are excellent. Carr has managed to start with the best, have two of them in the middle, and funny, at that, and end with the other. Impressive organisation.

Possibly my all-time favorite SF anthology, including those edited by Asimov! Press Enter (the first story) will give you nightmares. There are some cheesy ones here...but delightfully cheesy.
