An collection of short stories - a year's worth of magazines collected into one anthology. The editors acknowledge the contradiction of the title, and blithely try to explain it away by being unfettered from traditional constraints. It doesn't wash.

Presumably quarterly as there are four themes. Basically female heavy leads, but nothing particularly struck me as being innovative or by an author worthy of further attention. I'd read a few of Leah's (fine) stories before which didn't help spark any novelty or inventiveness. Her slightly twisted worlds don't quite hold up to re-reads when the surprise has worn off. In a slightly positive vein there were no clunkers either. ( )
