"Imaginings is a first-rate anthology ... an overall excellent selection."
---Rich Horton, Locus, October 2003

Welcome to the home page for the bold new anthology Imaginings, a collection of novelette-length tales of science fiction and fantasy, produced by Albé-Shiloh Inc. and on sale now from the good folks at Pocket Books.

Edited by respected editor and best-selling author Keith R.A. DeCandido, Imaginings features the best in long short fiction, including:

The objective of Imaginings is to create a home for stories of a length that is in many ways ideal for the genre, but also hard for most anthologies and magazines to accommodate. Some of the most important and influential stories in the field are novelette-length--"Slow Sculpture" by Theodore Sturgeon, "The Screwfly Solution" by Raccoona Sheldon, "The Bicentennial Man" by Isaac Asimov, "Sandkings" by George R.R. Martin, "Blood Music" by Greg Bear--but they're very difficult to place.

Imaginings is, like Patrick Nielsen Hayden's Starlight, a return to the anthology like Terry Carr's old Universe series--anthologies whose only "theme" is that they have the best stories the genre has to offer.

12 February 2004 update: The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America have nominated "Of a Sweet Slow Dance in the Wake of Temporary Dogs" by Adam-Troy Castro for a Best Novelette Nebula Award. The winners will be announced at the Nebula Banquet in Seattle on 17 April 2004. For the full list of nominees, click here.
