Collecting more than two dozen stories that originally appeared in the "Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction" - the premiere speculative fiction magazine - this extraordinary anthology celebrates 60 years of top-notch genre fiction. Including "All Summer in a Day", Ray Bradbury's lasting tale of what happened on one special day; "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, describing what happened to Charlie Gordon when he was made into a genius; "Harrison Bergeron", Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist cautionary tale of mandatory equality; and, "The Electric Ant" by Philip K. Dick, concerning what Garson Poole learned after the accident that hospitalized him. This remarkable collection also features some of the most highly acclaimed, award-winning authors, including Neil Gaiman, Harlan Ellison, Shirley Jackson, Peter S. Beagle, Karen Joy Fowler, Ursula K Le Guin, Theodore Sturgeon, and Roger Zelazny. Hand-picked by the magazine's current editor, this is an unmatched assemblage of appealing, first-rate fiction.
Reviews
"The word "classic" could justifiably be applied to many stories in this volume, which, as a tribute to the magazine and an introduction to some of the finest authors of fantasy, SF and horror, is a landmark anthology." -- The Guardian, August 2009
