From Hungary comes Csilla Kleinheincz's story of a woman's attempts to change her father's prophetic pronouncements ("A Single Year"), while Zimbabwe's Ivor W. Hartmann tells a bittersweet coming-of-age story set in a dystopic future ("Mr. Goop"). This second volume of international sf, fantasy, and horror includes stories from the Philippines, Cuba, New Zealand, India, and Poland, some of which are published in English for the first time. Authors include Finland's Hannue Rajaniemi ("Shiboyu no Love"), Russia's Ekaterina Sedia ("Zombie Lenin"), Peru's Daniel Salvo ("The First Peruvian in Space"), and Nigeria's Tade Thompson ("Shadow").
VERDICT Like its predecessor, this anthology serves as a solid introduction to many authors unfamiliar to American readers, as well as a top-notch showcase for the genre.
