Book Description
================
An alien world with an argon atmosphere serves as the stage for the
ultimate self-examination; an African-American scientist dissects a
Lovecraftian slave race while fascism rears its head on the other side
of the world; an elderly Jewish artist attracts a celestial muse; a
doomed village of scavengers discovers the scattered pieces of a metal
man; a stalwart reporter gambles on an interview with the power to alter
the world; a steel monkey defends a young girl from a rival family’s
assassins; a 19th Century country gentleman’s curious daughter meets
the enigmatic Dr. Viktor Frankenstein; a rivalry between brothers complicates
the interpretation of a message from the stars; two girls discover that
the cruel social rituals of adolescence apply differently in fact than
fiction…

The depth and breadth of science fiction and fantasy fiction continues
to change with every passing year. The 29 stories chosen for this book
by award-winning anthologist Jonathan Strahan carefully map this evolution,
giving readers a captivating and always-entertaining look at the very
best the genre has to offer.
