1.		The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 2008: 21st Annual Collection (Year's Best Fantasy and Horror) from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $14.93 Customer Review: This is one of several horror anthologies I have read over the years and this one fulfills its mission of providing reviews of fiction/film/media in this genre as well as including a broad array of short stories. The update was sufficient and the stories were of variable quality. There were some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Inferno: New Tales of Terror and the Supernatural from Tor Books Price: $17.13 Customer Review: I particularly like "Bethany's Wood" by Paul Finch, "Stilled Life" by Pat Cadigan, and "An Apiary of White Bees" by Lee Thomas. Oh, that stories like these have made it into YBFH 2008. I read the Datlow-chosen stories in YBFH 2007 right after reading Inferno and was disappointed; the story by Oates,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest from Puffin Price: $8.99 Customer Review: It is true, as other reviewers have stated, that this anthology of mythology is not meant for adults. However, it doesn't seem strong enough for young adults either. Except for some of the themes, many of the stories seem more appropriate for younger children. The fact is, they are predictable and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Black Thorn, White Rose from Prime Books Price: $10.36 Customer Review: As Datlow and Windling make clear in their foreword, fairytales were not originally intended for children. While I've never minded the Disneyfication of these stories - do we really want six-year-olds watching the ugly stepsisters hack off their own toes? - there is something marvelously gothic that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm from Puffin Price: $8.79 Customer Review: This is better than I thought it would be, as it is considerably less twee than I expected. The story average is an ok 3.29, but the book has some added extras. Windling produces a quite lengthy introduction in the form of an essay on the history of the Faerie in literature/art as a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 2007: 20th Annual Collection (Year's Best Fantasy and Horror) from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $14.93 Customer Review: A very impressive volume, this year. Well ahead of the last couple, and has multiple excellent to outstanding pieces - Houser, Savory, Fountain, Rosenbaum and Pratt. I didn't except to come across a book in this series I would rate this highly (3.76 story average). So very well done for avoiding too... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Snow White, Blood Red from Eos Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Beautiful. Dark. Haunting. These fairy tales are going to stick in that subconscious, so be ready to dream! Datlow and Windling conquer a genre. Amber LaShea Holmes Snow White on Acid: Nine Fantastical Nightmares	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Silver Birch, Blood Moon from Prime Books Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Silver Birch, Blood Moon mixes good re-tellings with horrible ones. It has stories that are funny, evil, good, terrible, brand new, re-told, and many others. I don't feel like I wasted my time reading it but there are better out there. I guess it is the same with all mixed books. I enjoyed a lot of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears from Prime Books Price: $10.36 Customer Review: When I was a child, mythology and fairy tales took up a huge portion of my reading time, informing me at a young age that tragedy is but only one of the many inescapable aspects of being alive in this world, and probably the greatest common denominator connecting humans to one another; and that in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Black Swan, White Raven from Prime Books Price: $11.01 Customer Review: Why is this fairy tale anthology out of print? It's got a great collection of stories! I liked practically everything that was in here. SNOW WHITE, BLOOD RED may have been the first volume in editors Datlow and Windling's series of such books, but this fourth one is hands-down more gripping... the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Fifteenth Annual Collection (Year's Best Fantasy and Horror) from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $19.95 Customer Review: I collect this series hungrily. There are always at least 10 stories that excite and amaze me, and I do feel they can honestly be called "the best" of each year. I also buy stacks of other genre anthologies, none of which demonstrate such consistent quality. How there came to be a gap on my shelf... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy: Sixteen Original Works by Speculative Fiction's Finest Voices from Del Rey Price: $10.88 Customer Review: The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy: Sixteen Works by Speculative Fiction's Finest Voices edited by Ellen Datlow: One of the most important and prolific editors of science fiction and fantasy anthologies today returns with The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy: Sixteen Works by... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Coyote Road from Puffin Price: $8.79 Customer Review: Is it just me, or do short story collections get the short end of the stick these days? With a love of child and YA novels at an all-time high, you'd think that some of that lovin' would slough off onto the other forms of fantasy out there. The shorter forms. Yet ask your average everyday kid to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		A Wolf at the Door and Other Retold Fairy Tales (13 stories) from Aladdin Paperbacks Customer Review: I love the Snow White Blood Red series by the same editors, and was hoping for stories of the same quality from this anthology. Perhaps it was because the target age of the audience is so different, but I just did not find many of these stories interesting. There were a couple that I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Seventh Annual Collection from St. Martin's Press Price: $21.95 Customer Review: I was really impressed with some of the fiction in this book. I really loved the stories Travels with the Snow Queen and Quiting Loup. I also loved Twa Corbies. But some were a little bit to be desired. I really thought that the whole feminist fairy tale theme was a little bit hard to swallow and a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror: Eighth Annual Collection from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $17.95 Customer Review: This book was my first introduction to Datlow and Windling's "Year's Best" series. I got it for Christmas in high school, and promptly sequestered myself in my room to devour as much as I could of the stories within. Not a huge fan of fantasy, I looked forward to the horror stories, but the fantasy... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Seventeenth Annual Collection (Year's Best Fantasy and Horror) from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $14.29 Customer Review: I am a long-time reader of this anthology, and #17 marks a fascinating shift in the fantasy selections. Link & Grant have tastes quite distinct from Windling's, though I can also see some overlap. But the works they've chosen are no less well-written and wonderful. Datlow's horror selections are... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Black Heart, Ivory Bones from Eos Customer Review: Not having the experience of reading the other books, I was delighted by these stories, particularly The Cats of San Martino, (although I felt the end was a little muddled) and Big Hair. What a great idea! I hope find the other books soon!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		The Dark: New Ghost Stories from Tor Books Price: $13.22 Customer Review: This was a good book of ghost stories. As the blurb on the back says, no two are alike. They take the reader in different directions. I like this anthology because it shows how versatile the the ghost story is. And what defines a ghost is in the eye of the beholder, and the storyteller. None of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
