Fully revised and current, this second edition addresses every change in the short fiction landscape since the classic original edition came out a decade ago. "Doug has gone through this new volume carefully, updating every possible detail.

Doug is one of those few, and this book shows it." — Kristine Kathryn Rusch, multi-award-winning author and editor "Douglas Smith is, quite simply, the finest short-story writer Canada has ever produced in the science fiction and fantasy genres." —Robert J.
