with science fiction and fantasy elements in recent years as have
recent films and television series. It is perfect timing to add
this subject area to our Best American series," says HMH Publisher

age," says John Joseph Adams. "My goal for this series is to prove
that the finest science fiction and fantasy is on par with the
finest works of literature in any genre."
Selections for this series will be drawn from a wide array of
publications including mainstream magazines, core science
fiction/fantasy publications, online venues as well as from
original anthologies in the field.

Dead. He has been nominated for six Hugo Awards and five World
