A Decade of Fantasy and Science Fiction

Science fiction and fantasy stories, along with one poem, from Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine. This might be considered F&SF’s second best stories from its first decade. The editor of this volume avoided using stories from the nine previously published annual Best from Fantasy and Science Fiction as well as any stories that had been previously anthologized.
