ABOUT THE BOOK

When putting this anthology together, I was determined that it should not be called The Best of ParSec or anything of that ilk. A title such as that would be a slight on those stories that were not selected, suggesting they are in some way inferior to those that have been, and that’s simply not the case.

Permit me to explain.

Two thirds of the stories published in the first seven issues of ParSec, from which this volume is drawn, came to us via the three brief open submission periods we’ve held to date. During those three windows I received around 1,000 submissions. Of these, I’ve accepted just 8%. I’ve turned away some good stories in the process, I know that, but those that have made it into the magazine are all stories I love.
