Fantasy; Short Stories Fantasy

Escape on a journey from the ordinary to the extraordinary with award-winning fantasy editor Paula Guran. This superbly curated collection explores myth and fable, dark and light-a heroic creature facing a dangerous demon; an earthly love facing the mossy decay of death. With tales of living ball gowns and timid monsters, of modern witches and multidimensional magic, these twenty-four stories will transport you from fantastical realms that push the limits of imagination to alternative realities mirroring much of our own. Discover bewitchment and wonder, the surreal and the chimerical, in a fantasy anthology representing a diverse array of accomplished talent from around the world . . . and perhaps beyond.

Reviews for The Year's Best Fantasy: Volume One

It's an intriguing mix that Guran has put together here. . . These stories are richly diverse in plot and style, and this range made Guran's anthology the kind of book that I will recommend to genre and non-genre readers alike.--Rachel Cordasco, Strange Horizons
