Wow!

The artists featured in this short story compilation are very, very good at what they do! Every one of the stories was well written, paced very well and so, so intriguing. I loved almost every single one of the stories. Some still haunt me. But all of them were well worth the read.

An excellent, diverse anthology of short SFF

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

For me, Ellen Datlow is one of the finest anthologists around, so it should be no surprise that this is a superb collection of fiction. If there is any surprise at all, it is perhaps that she could only pick from short fiction published by tor.com the previous year, but I think that the quality of the volume says a great deal about the quality of the work on Tor.

There's not a single story on here that i would consider poor - the vast majority I scored 4- or 5- stars and, for those I didn't, it was more that they were simply not my type of thing. For instance, there were a couple that I thought more vignettes for sketches, not fleshed out enough to be trues stories, but I know that is something of a personal taste issue.

The real joy of this collection, though, is that it has introduced me to so many authors I may otherwise never have come across but are now no-questions-asked purchases. I can't wait to get to the other tor.com "some of the best" volumes.

I've reviewed the tales individually as I've gone along, so will just give the ratings here.

Not great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2021

I quite like a short story now and again when I'm between more substantial reads, but I can't find anything of interest in this lot.
I hoped I'd maybe stumbled upon a goldmine that I could dig around in periodically, but it's all fool's gold in here, I'm afraid.
I suppose when I didn't recognise a single author's name I should've heard alarm bells - this bloody Covid situation has turned me into a cabbage.

A good showcase

A wide ranging variety of writers and stories. Tor do not seem to have any bad writers, and these, whatever the sub genre, all do what SF is supposed to do. Tell a good story, while tugging at the boundaries of what society is and what it could be.

i do not know...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2018

i do not know quite what to think... all the stories are well written, and some few were fun to read, but most were too brutal, scary, bloody, horrifying and awful for me...i like elegance, coolness, distance to violence, and here the violence was right in the reader's face...even the language skills, which were obvious, could not make up for the horror...sorry, not for me...

A splendid mix

Anything from Tor is worth a look, and this is a substantial anthology. Not only do we get a great variety by established as well as new writers, it's free. What's not to like? In my case, that would be the money spent on more books by these authors...
