PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The 28th installment of this venerable anthology series collects the 13 winners of the Writers of the Future contest for 2011, drawing from the ranks of new authors and artists. Many of the contributors have already seen other success in the field, and it's not hard to imagine some of them making award lists in the near future. The offerings are thought provoking and varied, with a general trend toward excellence. Standouts include Marie Croke's "Of Woven Wood," in which a golem learns to deal with his creator's death; William Mitchell's "Contact Authority," a tale of outer space espionage; and Scott T. Barnes's lyrical "Insect Sculptor." The selections are weighted toward science fiction, with several fantasy pieces and some that defy genre, like Nick T. Chan's "The Command for Love." The future is in good hands.
