This was a wonderful compilation. This book spanned the early SciFi and Dark Fantasy and led almost to modern times. The only drawback with this collection is that there was no "newer" fiction or fantasy. I agree with every piece in this book, I just think some should be added. ( )

Textbook from a class I loved. Lots of great classic sci-fi and fantasy short stories here.
