Library Journal Review
The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2015

As this volume reveals, 2014 was an outstanding year for stellar short speculative fiction. Edited by master anthologist Adams and award-winning horror author Hill, this collection features a number of stories previously published elsewhere, but their high quality makes them worth revisiting. Readers will particularly enjoy Seanan McGuire's take on mermaids in "Each to Each" and Neil Gaiman fans will relish a visit to London Below in "The Marquis of Carabas." One of the very best pieces is from the only author to have two stories selected for this volume, newcomer Sofia Samatar. "How To Get Back to the Forest" is a haunting tale of the near future that will leave readers wanting more of her lyrical writing. VERDICT An illuminating anthology for genre devotees and curious readers interested in exploring sf/fantasy without committing to a full novel or series.-JM © Copyright 2015.
