What? You haven’t started reading your copies of The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy (edited by Rich Horton) and The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror (edited by Paula Guran)?

Okay, maybe they are a little heavy for beach books (and who wants an ereader at the beach?), but otherwise they’ll fill the empty hours you now have with Game of Thrones over, only one more week of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, and with movies tickets costing so much. how many times are you going to see Mad Max: Fury Road, Jurassic World or Avengers: Age of Ultron?

Don’t take it from us, read what Jaffalogue has to say:

Jaffalogue Reviews: The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy
“This anthology promises the best in new stories and delivers on that promise . . . I’ve never had so many 4- and 5-star ratings in one anthology before (17 of the 34 stories).”

Jaffalogue Reviews:The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror

“A great many of these short stories and novellas are excellent in this sixth annual edition of this collection. Editor Paula Guran can be counted on cast a wide net when it comes to tone and genre, but to glean the best therein.”
