The beloved Peter S. Beagle returns to editing (alongside Jacob Weisman, editor of the acclaimed  INVADERS: 22 TALES FROM THE OUTER LIMITS OF LITERATURE) with THE NEW FANTASY. Adventurous readers ready for the next big thing: here is the cutting-edge of fantasy. Get ready for political, social, and diverse views of the world—or worlds, as the case may be.

This vibrant anthology presents cutting-edge new fantasy to adventurous readers ready for the next big thing. The up-and-coming authors in The New Fantasy have been primarily published in the last five years—many of them have or are about to put out collections and novels for the first time: Usman T. Malik, Sofia Samatar, Eugene Fischer, Ben Loory, Maria Dahvana Headley, Ursula Vernon, Max Gladstone, and many more. Their new take on fantasy combines their personal, societal, and diverse views of the world—or worlds, as the case may be.
