The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume One (2007)
Edited by Jonathan Strahan
As one might expect, a lot of variation in both content and quality.
Some of my favorite stories:
How to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman (a cautionary tale on the effects of drinking Pernod and Coke)
I, Row-Boat by Cory Doctorow (Asimov turned completely upside down mixed with William Gibson)
Under Hell, Over Heaven by by Margo Lanagan (reminds me of Planescape)
The Night Whiskey by Jeffrey Ford (a cautionary tale on drinking liquor distilled from corpse berries)
Pol Pot's Beautiful Daughter (Fantasy) by Geoff Ryman (even the rich & beautiful have their problems)
Eight Episodes by Robert Reed (a very short-lived and bizarre TV-series)
D.A. by Connie Willis (Didn't Apply and Devil's Advocate)
Some of these stories are definitely worth reading more than once.
