These were the criteria Isaac Asimov set for himself, Terry Carr, and Martin Greenberg in choosing the stories for this collection. The result is 100 of the greatest, shortest fantasy stories to chill you. thrill you, and transport you into the fabulous “might be” realm of the strange and the marvelous. Each work is a compact triumph of boundless wonder. History is scrambled and reordered with disconcerting precision. Contemporary life leaps out of focus. The future is sighted along bizarre and divergent parallels. Nothing is real, but everything makes the entirely believable sense found in the very best fantasy writing. So read and enjoy.
