Reviews
"The first [was] an all-star anthology, the second, also edited by Gordon van Gelder, possesses just as much impact, history, and sheer enjoyability, and is a welcome retrospective of one of the genre's bastions.... Just a superb anthology." -- Speculition "Gordon Van Gelder is the current editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction , and as with his earlier volume of this series, has put together a killer anthology of the very best from F&SF ." -- Galaxy's Edge "Van Gelder set out to provide a taste of some of the most renowned speculative fiction authors over the last half-century, and he succeeded brilliantly" -- Book Likes "...a collection of some of the best sci-fi and fantasy short stories out there." -- Starburst "This is an excellent place to see not only gems from Fantasy and Science Fiction , but also great stories from over 60 years of the field. -- Tangent "This is the second part of an anthology of incredible short stories edited by Gordon van Gelder (who has won two Hugo's for Best Editor, Short Form). The stories themselves are, purposefully, incredibly varied. Some are funny, others heartbreakingly sad and others thrilling. The common thing across the board is that these are excellent stories." -- World of Books "...a must read." -- Beauty in Ruins " The Very Best of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Volume 2 is a great addition to any reader's library because it chronicles the genres' changes over time. All of the stories are enjoyable...." -- Lit Reactor "If the previous two anthologies had heavy-hitters, this one has legends: Brian Aldiss, Paolo Bacigalupi (the remarkable "The People of Sand and Slag"), Jack Finney, Elizabeth Hand, Robert A. Heinlein, Stephen King, Kit Reed, Robert Silverberg ... oh, hell, why bother listing them? The stories in this book are so good (and surprisingly, many of them are funny) that you need to buy it.
