I think this is as late as I’ve ever done this, but here we go!Â I have the all-clear, so without further ado, here’s the table of contents (in alpha order) for The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Vol 10.

As I said last year, while there are one or two stories that got away, and while if I had a smidgeon more room I might have opted for a novella in one spot, Iâ€™m basically very happy with this list.

â€œCity of Ashâ€, Paolo Bacigalupi â€œThe Heart’s Filthy Lessonâ€, Elizabeth Bear â€œThe Machine Startsâ€, Greg Bear â€œThe Winter Wraithâ€, Jeffrey Ford â€œBlack Dogâ€, Neil Gaiman â€œJamaica Gingerâ€, Nalo Hopkinson & Nisi Shawl â€œDronesâ€, Simon Ings â€œEmergenceâ€, Gwyneth Jones â€œDancy vs. the Pterosaurâ€, Caitlin R. Kiernan â€œAnother Word for Worldâ€, Anne Leckie â€œThe Game of Smash and Recoveryâ€, Kelly Link â€œThe Pauper Prince and the Eucalyptus Jinnâ€, Usman T. Mailk â€œBotanica Veneris: Thirteen Papercuts by Ida Countess Rathanganâ€, Ian McDonald â€œLittle Sistersâ€, Vonda McIntyre â€œCalvedâ€, Sam J. Miller â€œGhosts of Homeâ€, Sam J. Miller â€œThe Deepwater Brideâ€, Tamsyn Muir â€œThe Empress in Her Gloryâ€, Robert Reed â€œA Murmurationâ€, Alastair Reynolds â€œOral Argumentâ€, Kim Stanley Robinson â€œWater of Versaillesâ€, Kelly Robson â€œCapitalism in the 22nd Centuryâ€, Geoff Ryman â€œThe Karen Joy Fowler Book Clubâ€, Nike Sulway â€œThe Lily and the Hornâ€, Catherynne Valente â€œBlood, Ash, Braidsâ€, Genevieve Valentine â€œKaiju maximusÂ®: â€˜So Various, So Beautiful, So Newâ€™â€, Kai Ashante Wilson â€œHungry Daughters of Starving Mothersâ€, Alyssa Wong

The striking cover art, inspired by an Ian McDonald story, is by Domenic Harman. Â The book is available to pre-order in all of the usual places, so please do!

Finally, I am hard at work on finishing the manuscript for the book, but I can announce I’m reading for the 2017 volume.
