YBFH 2007 #20

[ellen_datlow]

Our first reviews for the 20th anniversary volume of YBFH are starred raves from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly.

Kirkus:
Bring out the bone china--a critically acclaimed fantasy/horror annual celebrates its 20th anniversary in grand style.

Publishers Weekly:
In the two decades since this venerable series was inaugurated, so many ventures have begun to welcome horror and fantasy stories that these dedicated editors play a crucial role in bringing the best new works to fans who don't always read far afield.
.... As the line between fantasy and horror blurs, this combined presentation of their exemplars will give readers of both genres much to enjoy, and may even broaden a few horizons.

Thank you, whoever reviewed the book at PW, for "getting" it.

Seems I have to wait longer each year for this to arrive. Soon, I hope. I'm an impatient fellow.

Afraid it won't be out this year till early October.

Fantastic reviews! But of course.

Yes, isn't it satisfying when a reviewer "gets it?"

Oh my! I'm late to the party -- but congrats on the reviews, and welcome to LJ.
