"Outstanding are Nancy Kress's story about children genetically altered to require no sleep and Connie Willis's chillingly restrained tale of an ancient evil haunting the rubble-strewn streets of World War II London." --Publishers Weekly

"Well up to par in terms of quality, quantity, and scope: the essential guide to science fiction's shorter-format activities." --Kirkus Reviews
