Twenty Epics

Arg!

I've read Benjamin Rosenbaum's World Fantasy Award nominated story "A Siege of Cranes" out of the Twenty Epics collection from All Star Stories (it was available online).

I didn’t realize what the lineup was at the time.

All-new stories from Christopher Rowe, Tim Pratt, Alan DeNiro, Rachel McGonagill, K.D. Wentworth, Marcus Ewert, Christopher Barzak, Meghan McCarron, Stephen Eley, Jon Hansen, Paul Berger, David Schwartz, Sandra McDonald, Jack Mierzwa, Mary Robinette Kowal, Zoë Selengut, Ian McHugh, Yoon Ha Lee, Benjamin Rosenbaum, and Scott William Carter.

Gah! Tim Pratt, Alan DeNiro, Mary Robinette Kowal?!

And it gets worse! All Star Stories also has Zeppelin Adventure Stories which features David Brin, Carrie Vaughn, Tobias Buckell AND Elizabeth Bear!

Of course my library does not have copies of either book. Naturally. Neither volume is available via Interlibrary loan. Gah! How am I supposed to read these stories?!?!
