adventurous medium-paced

What a great collection of short speculative fiction. I think Solaris and Rebellion did a great job of rounding up authors you ought to know--definitely going to go look further into some of them after having read their short stories.

I feel that some of the authors are more suited to the short story format than others, but every story at least had something I could think over: an ending, a concept, a constraint, and so on.
