The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Seventh Annual Collection by Gardner Dozois

5.0

Gardner Dozois' YBSF compilations are some of the best short story collections out there. I'm a huge fan of short fiction and of sci fi short fiction in particular and have been a long-time reader of this series. However, the past several years, I've fallen behind on reading YBSF collections because they're so giant and I can't easily cart them around with me. Hooray for e-books! I read through this from cover to cover and, although not every story was to my personal taste, I really enjoyed it. I'm very glad to get back to reading YBSF. Dozois always had a fine touch as editor of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine and, although he retired from Asimov's several years ago, his fantastic skills at story selection and compilation are well displayed by this collection.
