Editorial Reviews

"This sparkling anthology of 16 stories, assembled by acclaimed editor Datlow (Hauntings), celebrates 30 years of Clarion West, one of the most respected writing workshops in the speculative fiction genre... [The stories] twist familiar ground into something delightfully new, with strong and unusual voices... This is a time capsule of not only the best of Clarion, but also some of the best short speculative fiction of the last three decades."
