Editorial Review:
Product Description:
For twenty years this award-winning compilation has been the nonpareil benchmark against which all other annual fantasy and horror collections are judged. Directed first by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling and for the past four years by Datlow and Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant, it consistently presents the strangest, the funniest, the darkest, the sharpest, the most original—in short, the best fantasy and horror. The current collection, marking a score of years, offers more than forty stories and poems from almost as many sources. Summations of the field by the editors are complemented by articles by Edward Bryant, Charles de Lint, and Jeff VanderMeer, highlighting the best of the fantastic in, respectively, media, music, and comics, as well as honorable mentions—notable works that didn’t quite make the cut, but are nonetheless worthy of attention. The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror: Twentieth Annual Collection is a cornucopia of fantastic delights, an unparalleled resource and indispensable reference that captures the unique excitement and beauty of the fantastic in all its gloriously diverse forms, from the lightest fantasy to the darkest horror.

- Not Free SF ReaderA very impressive volume, this year. Well ahead of the last couple, and has multiple excellent to outstanding pieces - Houser, Savory, Fountain, Rosenbaum and Pratt. I didn't except to come across a book in this series I would rate this highly (3.76 story average). So very well done for avoiding too many lame or dull stories this year.
The introduction again cracks the ton in pagecount, perhaps the only annoying bit there is the huge run on list of horror novels by Datlow that is ... Read More

- Always excellentThe Year's Best series is always a good purchase for the lover of fantasy and horror. Here you get to meet the freshest talent and to sample their wares. My only critique is the "Best Of" sections at the front of the book, which seem to get longer and longer each year. Not that this section isn't worth reading to get ideas, but it's taking up valuable short story space. However, if you are ever in a bookstore and needing a new flavor, I suggest picking up a copy of this book and looking around ... Read More

- Another great year of fiction...though not as great as last year'sWith me not being much of a Horror fan, you wouldn't think I'd get much out of The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror: #20, edited by Ellen Datlow, Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant, with half of it being a genre that I really don't have any interest in. However, I really enjoyed last year's edition, with the Horror stories actually being more interesting than the fantasy ones. Sadly, this year the stories aren't quite as gripping, though I can't point to any that I didn't enjoy at least somewhat. It helps ... Read More

- Consistently Entertaining FictionThe short stories compiled here range from the hilarious "Fourteen Experiments in Postal Delivery" to the melancholy "Dog Person." While I picked up the "Year's Best" for the horror, I found the fantasy stories to be among the most interesting. The "fantasy" stories included are of the speculative variety and not the sword-and-sorcery variety--that's a plus for me, but it won't be everyone's cup of tea. One of my personal favorites here is Geoff Ryman's magical "Pol Pot's Beautiful Daughter," a story ... Read More

- As always an esstential collectionI have a yearly ritual of reading the Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. This year's collection is just as delightful and spooky as those past. I especially enjoyed M. Rickert's disquieting "Journey into the Kingdom", Tim Pratt's fun "Cup and Table" and the first story Geoff Ryman's dreamy "Pol Pot's Beautiful Daughter".
Of course, everyone will probably have different favorites and there are one or two stories I could have done without, but its a great survey of genre short fiction of 2006.
