Women of Wonder: Science-Fiction Stories by Women about Women

The Heat Death of the Universe and Other Stories
AuthorPamela Zoline
ISBN0914232886

The Best of C. M. Kornbluth
AuthorC.M. Kornbluth
ISBN0800807235
I had never heard of C.M. Kornbluth, but found this in one of the "Little Free Libraries" around town and noted the introduction by Frederik Pohl. The stories were all decidedly science fiction, but in that way that doesn't require aliens or interstellar travel. Stories set in bars and dirty apartments....

Kirinyaga: A Fable of Utopia collects Mike Resnick's famous Kirinyaga stories and ties them together in a thematic arc that has novel-like continuity.

Fireflood and Other Stories
AuthorVonda N. McIntyre
ISBN0671836315
I'm pretty sure I read this collection of short stories by Vonda N McIntyre about thirty years ago - some of them were definitely very familiar, though as I couldn't remember anything at all about some of the others I may simply have read them in anthologies. I bought a copy a few months ago, and when I heard...
The Third Level

Worth the price of admission just for the stories "I'm Scared," and "Of Missing Persons." The latter was once a staple of high school literature textbooks (mid-1960s), and still holds up today. This collection was cited by Stephen King as having defined the boundaries of what later became Rod Serling's...
