Notes

  • No printed price. Price from Locus 1
  • Month from Locus 1
  • The cover adds "Fiction of the Fantastic".
  • Re cover artist - back cover states Conny Valentina; copyright page states Conny Valentine. An Internet search found that it is Valentina. (Painting entitled "Prelude" - used for the cover - found on her website - [here].)
  • The item titled "Rynemonn" by Terry Dowling contains fragments from a then to-be-published book/collection of that name (to be #4 in Rynosseros series).
  • The text is well-spaced; this was taken into account when determining story lengths.
    • The Blackford story might not get to the novelette word count, but it's a novelette on Locus 1, so I've left it. (Presumably was based on its original publication, which is IIRC a well-spaced book also.)
    • The James story is 30pp in this book, so if 22pp is a novelette, this should also be (cf Locus 1, which has it as a ss).
    • The Dowling is far longer than a ss (as Locus 1 has it)
    • The Pryor story I've left as a ss, though it is also just over 22pp.
