Year's Best Fantasy 9

Front Cover
46 Reviews
Tom Doherty Associates, Aug 14, 2009 - Fiction - 222 pages
Twenty-eight doses of wonder. From the distant past to the present day, from Antarctica and Mars to worlds that never were, the tales in this book bring news from nowhere-and everywhere. Fantasy is a mode of storytelling, a method of entertainment, a mode of argument, and a way of seeing. Here, presented by two of the most distinguished anthologists of the day, are twenty-eight stories that see, tell, argue, and entertain.

At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
