I always get excited when I see the contents of the various Best Ofs. These are really the best bargains on the market and I try to pick up at least one in every field each year. I’m really excited about the new horror best of (edited by John Betancourt I think). There hasn’t been a contents listing for that one has there?

I’m with you; they’re great values and I always like being introduced to authors I might never have been otherwise.

The HORROR one is the one I’m most looking forward to, but I haven’t received word on the contents listing yet.
