Search Worlds Without End

A showcase of some of the finest weird fiction from 2024, the inaugural volume of The Best Weird Fiction of the Year pays homage to, and builds upon, the critical success of its sibling predecessor, The Year's Best Weird Fiction, Vols. 1-5 (2014-2018).

This new volume will strive to be in conversation with those other anthologies, while hopefully providing its own distinct voice to the ever-changing and adaptable purview of weird fiction.

Welcome, once again, to the weird.
