A review by _lilbey_
The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Fourth Annual Collection by Ellen Datlow, Terri Windling

3.0

I feel like the previous installment had more stories that stuck me the right way than this one.

Preferred stories:

Coming Home, Nina Kiriki Hoffman
Ladies and Gentlemen, Joyce Carol Oates (LOVED this)
Freaktent, Nancy A. Collins
Fantasy in the Real World, Susan Cooper (essay on role of fantasy literature, really interesting)
Moths, John Brunner
Time Keeper, John Morressy
Death of a Right Fielder, Stuart Dybek
Truman Capote's Trilby: The Facts, Garry Kilworth
Bestseller, Michael Blumlein (predictable but haunting)
Ashputtle: or, the Mother's Ghost, Angela Carter
Coyote v. Acme, Ian Frazier
