“This standard-setting compilation is a deeply affectionate and respectful history of speculative fiction's blurry edges, and its stunning diversity, excellent quality, and extremely reasonable price point will entice a wide variety of readers-including those who think they don't like 'weird.'” —Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Weird
