Inherited. Need to get this big old hardcover off my shelves.I may not read it all, as I'm not as fond of fantasy as I am of SF.No intro., no discernible order (not title nor author's name, not original publication date...).- "Far from Home" by Walter S. Tevis - short, lovely- "My Dear Emily" by Joanna Russ - imo unreadable, dnf- "The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule" by Lucius Shepard - amazing novelette: original & lyrical and I will absolutely look for more by the author- "The Vanishing Ame...

this book and I have a love hate relationship. there were some stories that were amazing and some I hated my self for even wasting my time on. so yea not the best but not the worst
