The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024

<p><strong>A collection of the year’s best science fiction and fantasy short fiction selected by <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of the Silo series Hugh Howey</strong> <strong>and series editor John Joseph Adams.</strong></p><p>“These are dangerous stories. The kind that warp reality and threaten to change the world” warns guest editor Hugh Howey in his introduction. <em>The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024</em> promises a treasure trove of audacious characters, daring worldbuilding, and twisted realties. A sibling duo of supernatural hitmen. A traveling spellbreaker and his trusty alligator mount. Superheroes registering for work. Sentient spaceships with an AI-human interface grow up together with their human pilots. From a Korean folk-tale retelling about the goddess of shamans, to a car, resurrected from obsolescence via automancy, for a road trip from California to Maine, these are stories that, for Howey, “challenged my worldview, that made me exercise new mental muscles, and that brought me to tears.”</p><p><em>The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024</em> includes A.R. CAPETTA • P. DJÈLÍ CLARK • JAMES S.A. COREY • AMAL EL-MOHTAR • ANDREW SEAN GREER • GRADY HENDRIX • ANN LECKIE • SAM J. MILLER REBECCA ROANHORSE • and others</p>
