Weird fiction, fantasy, science fiction and experimental speculative writing meet in Ann VanderMeer's anthologies, many co-edited with Jeff VanderMeer. The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories surveys more than a century of unsettling and difficult-to-classify fiction, while The New Weird focuses on a more recent movement that mixes fantasy, horror and surrealism. Steampunk collects stories built around retro-industrial technology and alternative histories, and Sisters of the Revolution centres feminist speculative fiction. The Big Book of Science Fiction, The Big Book of Classic Fantasy and The Big Book of Modern Fantasy broaden the project into large historical surveys. VanderMeer's anthologies fit weird fiction, speculative short stories and genre history, particularly for readers interested in connections between literary experimentation and genre traditions. The Weird is the most representative starting point for her taste as an editor. Read more Less
