    I've been finding short-story anthologies giving me more bang for my buck than novels the past year or two. And I don't think I read any of these Eclipses; trade paperbacks are too pricey.

    Hooray for the Eclipse series! I hope these yearly anthologies will win over more readers and writers to find the best that is possible in speculative fiction short stories.
    Another note, all these stories are seeing print for the first time but you will be seeing some of them again in award nomination lists and Year's Best anthologies.
    Already looking forward to Eclipse Four!

    "Since when do pumpkins need to be steam-powered, anyway?"

    You might as well ask "since when do pumpkins need to be carved into Jack-o lanterns?".

    ok, I for one like steampunk. But this is waaaay too much. I want my steampunk to make some kind of sense! (ie, goggles should only be used if they can be motivated by something other than "they are pretty!") So why should pumpkins suddenly require steam-power?

    and uhm, is it just me or does it look more fetish than steampunk? O.o #steampunk

    If you guys hate "Steampunk" so much, why do you keep putting it on your site, even if it's to say it should take a nap?

    This is pretty much the only place I even see the term used, and it's almost always to say it sucks.

    Just sayin'. #steampunk

    Anthologies like Eclipse and Fast Forward seem to be filing part of the void left by the decline of fiction magazines.

    @Franklin Harris: I spoke to Jeremy Lassen of Night Shade Books and he is definitely trying for some of that. They recently became the publishing partner of Electric Velocipede to help keep venues for speculative fiction short stories alive in print.

    @Franklin Harris: That's my perception too... but on the other hand, you still need short fiction magazines to nurture new talent and provide stories for anthologies to reprint.

    @Charlie Jane Anders: Magazines are definitely better at nurturing new talent, but the anthologies we see now are increasingly publishing previously unpublished stories. I suspect one reason anthologies are supplanting mags is anthologies tend to offer more known talent for the reader's buck. But it could end up self-defeating is there's no place for new talent to become known.

    The first two volumes of Eclipse were truly great. What I really dig is that these are general Speculative Fiction, no themes. You ain't going to cotton to every single story, but I'll guarantee you'll find something you love that's not really "your type of story".

    And kudos to Jeremy and Johnathan for getting that piece of vintage SF art by Richard Powers for the cover. Nice touch.
