Product Description

From Amazon

The 10th volume of this excellent annual anthology series not only collects 39 stories and 4 poems in these overlapping genres, but reports on the year's best in books, movies, and other media. The horror and dark fantasy tales are by Jay Russell (family ghost), Angela Carter (fairy tale ghost), Edward Bryant (aliens), Robert Silverberg (dark goddess), Yxta Maya Murray (Southwestern folklore ghost), Thomas Ligotti (secret society), Graham Masterton (macabre recipe book), Douglas Clegg (anguished love), Stephen Dedman (child lamia who knew Lewis Carroll), Terry Lamsley (monster "pet"), Isobelle Carmody (phoenix), Delia Sherman (witches and wolves), Lisa Russ Spaar (Rapunzel), Neil Gaiman (queen bee), Philip Graham (oppressive angel), Terry Dowling (monomania), Dennis Etchison (L.A. paranoia), Kathe Koja and Barry N. Malzberg (ravaging bears), A. R. Morlan (rock 'n' roll sleaze), Michael Marshall Smith (entrapping relationship), and Ron Hansen (magic realism). All the dark tales are high quality, and a few are among the best in the series so far.

From Library Journal

The discerning editors selected 39 short stories and four poems as the best published in 1996 from genre and mainstream sources. The broad and inclusive coverage runs from traditional fantasy and horror to dark fantasy, magical realism, and surrealism from such well-known authors as Tanith Lee, Michael Bishop, Robert Silverberg, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Patricia A. McKillip, and Jane Yolen, among others. The editors' consistently good choices makes this an excellent purchase for all fantasy and horror collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some were good, some were bad, Sep 16 2003

This review is from: The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Tenth Annual Collection (Paperback)
I would give "The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Tenth Annual Collection" 3 stars because when I read this book some of the stories really got my attention but some stories were too dull and never seemed to get anywhere and I would go onto the story without finishing the one I was reading. Some personal favorites of mine were Tanith Lee's "The Reason for not Going to the Ball", "The Last Rainbow" by Parke Godwin and Stephen Dedman's "Never Seen by Waking Eyes" although I enjoyed many more. But I was dissapointed upon reading the story by Neil Gaiman because I usually find his stories creative and chilling. I always love Thomas Canty's artwork on all the books he illustrates and on this collection the artwork is one of my favorite he's made because it is both grotesque and beautiful. And I just want to say to the other folks that wrote in other reviews for this book who were writing how horrible it is that they should just take another look and see how much work goes into those antholigies with the writers and editors and artists and publishers and they should think about what they are saying and hope they will be more appreciative for other books like this in the future. Bravo, Terri Windling! Bravo Ellen Datlow, Bravo Thomas Canty! I look forward to more of your collaboration antholigies in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, But Not Very Horrorific, Jun 14 2001
This review is from: The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Tenth Annual Collection (Paperback)
Interesting collection of writers, some famous and some unknowns, but all in all not a real page turner. Some stories I couldn't even finish I got so bored. Some were so good I got goose pimples. Go figure.
