A collection of the year's best science fiction and fantasy short fiction selected by New York Times bestselling author of the Silo series Hugh Howey and series editor John Joseph Adams."These are dangerous stories. The kind that warp reality and threaten to change the world" warns guest editor Hugh Howey in his introduction.

A traveling spellbreaker and his trusty alligator mount. Superheroes registering for work. Sentient spaceships with an AI-human interface grow up together with their human pilots.

CAPETTA - P. DJÈLÍ CLARK - JAMES S.A. COREY - AMAL EL-MOHTAR - ANDREW SEAN GREER - GRADY HENDRIX - ANN LECKIE - SAM J. MILLER REBECCA ROANHORSE - and others
