Datlow, Ellen (Editor) The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror: Seventeenth Annual Collection (Year's Bes t Fantasy and Horror)
St. Martin's Griffin August 1, 2004 0-312-32928-8 / 9780312329280 Paperback Fine
The proliferation of specialty fantasy publications with short runs and low profiles, combined with the growing pervasiveness of fantasy and horror in mainstream markets that elude genre enthusiasts, has made this annual cull ing increasingly vital for readers who seek the best in fantastic fiction. Datlow (the horror half) teams with new co-editors (who assume fantasy deta il once handled by Terri Windling) and the series doesn't skip a beat in qu ality, delivering 43 stories and poems published in 2003 that illustrate mo dern fantasy's breadth and variety. Stephen King is represented by "Harvey' s Dream," an eerie tale of a precognitive dream's disruption of an ordinary suburban household. Karen Joy Fowler, in "King Rat," and Ursula K. Le Guin , in "Woeful Tales from the Mahigul," make suffering the grist of powerful folk tales. Stories by Michael Swanwick, Neil Gaiman and Dan Chaon stretch traditional genre themes in intriguing new directions. Likewise, the one do minant theme that shapes the contents of this year's volume--the zeitgeist of a post-9/11 world--gets memorably varied treatments from several contrib utors. Lucius Shepard conjures ghosts from the ruins of the World Trade Cen ter for a consoling tale of redemption in "Only Partly Here," while Brian H odge evokes an all-consuming evil in the battlefields of Afghanistan in "Wi th Acknowledgments to Sun Tzu." Wartime paranoia is implicit in two subtly crafted fables, M. Rickert's "Bread and Bombs" and George Saunders's "The R ed Bow." Like the other selections, these stories are proof that the best f antastic fiction is modern mythmaking at its finest.
