This book is a MUST HAVE.

Myspace, however, is a MUST AVOID.

I was paging through this recently and there's Really Great Reading here, much love to Tachyon Publications. I didn't but it because I have most of the stories already in other books. Now I'm thinking I will pick it up just as a backup/loaner for enticing new readers to this exciting quasi-sub-genre (NOT using the "sl-word", nope, not gonna do it).

@Grey_Area:
Can you tell me what other collections are poached?
I would probably be interested in them as well.

@Plague: Well, I'm not in front of my books right now. Stuck at a place where I'm forced to preform meaningless tasks for money. (sigh)
Right off the bat Miéville's "Jack" is in "Looking for Jake," his collection of short stories. I think one or two others were in the anthology "Cities" published by Four Walls Seven Windows (or was it 9 windows?). The Di Filippo piece in that is AMAZING. "In the Cities, the Hills" in in Barker's Books of Blood of course. Harrison's "Viriconium Nights" is pretty cool too, kinda the grandparent of New Crobuzon.
Happy Hunting!

@Grey_Area: Oh, no kidding--that's the Jack Half-a-Prayer story?

Damn.
I have most of those.
Going to have to research how many are new...

Or just get the "Paper Cities" anthology instead.

@braak: Yup, it's really brief but well done.

@Plague: See what I mean? It'll still make a lovely gift.

Is this New Weird newer and weirder than the old New Weird?

@Recury: The simple answer is yes.
