This anthology is a truly fantastic read. The collection opens with "Ponies," by Kij Johnson, a piercing story about pretty girls with ponies. It was a stunning and heartbreaking take on the dark side of friendship and acceptance. The book goes on to soar through many other memorable topics, including: a romantic adventure in the cloud cities of Venus, a future where death begins at birth, a Naga romance, a twentieth century Aztec society, a book with a mind of its own, and a Merman in the Midwest.
