In the sad absence of a Dozois’ annual anthology, I’ve been and gone and bought
Strahan’s take on the best in SF&F from 2017.
Strahan casts his net far and wide.
As ever, a wide range of sources to choose from, which the normal reader will have struggled to embrace
A collection of stories from a very wide range of sources, with only one from the Big 3 magazines (Asimovs, Analog, F&SF).
Now published by Solaris books, with lots of big names from a wide variety of sources.
Reviews underway – in the meantime, why not buy yourself a copy from amazon.com | amazon.co.uk – it’s always good value for money.

An excellent collection, with that part of the volume covering fantasy stories not leaving me too far adrift
A collection of excellent stories.

A very strong volume, IMHO, with only the Palwick story being the one to which I would object to (although with the proviso that the Sterling and Cadigan stories were for my more towards the fantasy end of the spectrum than the SF, especially for an editor who does have a complementary fantasy collection).
