This artwork by Jim Burns adorns the cover of The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy: Thirty-First Annual Collection, edited by Gardner Dozois, which is the legendary annual “best of” roundup that’s as famous for Dozois’ opening essay as for the keen selection of stories. Published next summer, next year’s volume includes stories by Tad Williams, Alastair Reynolds, Carrie Vaughn, Naomi Novik, Cory Doctorow and many others.
