This anthology features a wide range of stories by the most accomplished voices working in science fiction and fantasy fiction.

This omnivorous selection of stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and World Fantasy Award finalist Carmen Maria Machado is a display of the most boundary-pushing, genre-blurring, stylistically singular science fiction and fantasy tales. By sending us to alternate universes and chronicling ordinary magic, introducing us to mythical beasts and talking animals, and engaging with a wide spectrum of emotion from tenderness to fear, each of these stories in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019 challenge the way we see our place in the cosmos.
