This is the most-read and loved of my anthologies. In fact, it's the best I've ever glimpsed, skimmed through, picked up in a bookstore or library, or been given a reading assignment from. It provides the reader with a glimpse into the minds of some of the most well-known, and many obscure, short story writers, as well as providing wonderful pieces of literature. The stories themselves are varied, intriguing, and plentiful.

Short stories and advice from 52 great authors of short fiction. Need I really say more? I love a good short story collection, and this most certainly is one. Over 900 pages, so you can enjoy it for a long time. Copyright 2006, meaning I was no longer passing myself off as a teacher when it was published. I could've used it then. But no matter. I still read for pleasure, and it certainly gave me much of that. Another keeper.

Excellent book for reading top notch literature and improving knowledge about contemporary authors. I really enjoyed the collection of work assembled in this book.

I bought this book to use in a course on short fiction at MIT. I expected the usual history of literature book, but what this contains is a treasure of not only excellent, popular fiction, but essays by each of the authors that are as interesting as the stories. I don't think you can find a better collection to study the art of the short story anywhere.

This book's title and subtitle are a good summary for a book I feel belongs every creative writing class and on the desk of every aspiring writer. And for only $18.95 USD for 926 pages, the book is a bargain. If you've recently purchased books for a college class, you will know what I mean, I've paid upwards of $100 for a book.
