The Year's Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Fifth Annual Collection

Yet another fantastic collection of fantastic SF by our friend, Gardner Dozois. It was a great loss to all of us in the SF world when he passed away recently. I will forever miss his annual summations of the science fiction world - even his annual rant about the proliferation of super-hero movies. It is hard to imagine that there will ever be someone with such an encyclopedic knowledge of the current state of short SF. The list of honourable mentions itself was awe-inspiring.

If you are looking for a good portal into short SF, or including short SF form a particular period, check out his annual summaries.
