Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show by Tim Pratt, David Farland, Bradley P. Beaulieu, Scott M. Roberts, James Maxey, Eric James Stone, Orson Scott Card, Brian Dolton, David Lubar
4.0
I didn't actually read this book cover to cover, because I had already read most of the stories in the online magazine. (http://www.intergalacticmedicineshow.com) There were a few stories that I had to reread, though, and it was good to be reminded that Orson Scott Card's magazine tends to be better than many other magazines at providing a selection of short fiction that I really enjoy.
The bonus to reading this anthology is getting the afterward to each story, where the author explains a little bit about where the story came from. Edmund Schubert, in his introduction, likens it to getting a peek at the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. (In some cases I enjoyed those anecdotes as much as the stories themselves!)
