We are thrilled to announce the 2014 edition of Some of the Best from Tor.com, an anthology of twenty-six of our favorite short stories, novelettes, and novellas, selected from the seventy-plus stories we published this year.
Of course, you can always read these—and all other—Tor.com stories for free whenever you’d like, but starting January 6th they will be available world-wide as a single, easy to read, free mini ebook. This offer is available world-wide throughout all ebook retailers. (Kindle readers can pre-order it now.)
These stories were acquired and edited for Tor.com by Ellen Datlow, Carl Engle-Laird, Liz Gorinsky, David G. Hartwell, Patrick Nielsen Hayden, Peter Joseph, Marco Palmieri, Paul Stevens, and Ann VanderMeer. Each story is accompanied by an original illustration.
Note: The free ebook download offer has expired as of January 1, 2016
