by Zen Cho, Ursula K. Le Guin, Naomi Novik, N. K. Jemisin, Garth Nix, Alyssa Wong, Jonathan Strahan, Tade Thompson, Elizabeth Bear, Dave Hutchinson, Yoon Ha Lee, Vandana Singh
The finest short science fiction and fantasy, from the master anthologist
A librarian helps a desperate student find the door into a book; Sir Thomas Moore’s head is stolen and a messy rescue ensues; a mother sells a piece of her memory so her daughter can afford an education.

The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Thirteen brings together the very best clashes between zombies and unicorns, robots and fairies, spaceships and more in a definitive volume that takes us everywhere from the distant future and the moons of our own solar system, to one last visit to Earthsea...
