A collection of the year’s best science fiction and fantasy short fiction selected by New York
Times bestselling author of the Silo series Hugh Howey and series editor John Joseph Adams.
“These are dangerous stories. The kind that warp reality and threaten to change the world”
warns guest editor Hugh Howey in his introduction. The Best American Science Fiction and
Fantasy 2024 promises a treasure trove of audacious characters daring worldbuilding and
twisted realties. A sibling duo of supernatural hitmen. A traveling spellbreaker and his trusty
alligator mount. Superheroes registering for work. Sentient spaceships with an AI-human
interface grow up together with their human pilots. From a Korean folk-tale retelling about the
goddess of shamans to a car resurrected from obsolescence via automancy for a road trip from
California to Maine these are stories that for Howey “challenged my worldview that made me
exercise new mental muscles and that brought me to tears.” The Best American Science Fiction
and Fantasy 2024 includes A.R. CAPETTA • P. DJÈLÍ CLARK • JAMES S.A. COREY • AMAL EL-MOHTAR •
ANDREW SEAN GREER • GRADY HENDRIX • ANN LECKIE • SAM J. MILLER REBECCA ROANHORSE • and others
