Looks like a good list of stories, and once again original anthologies are well represented. My only disappointment is that only two Interzone stories made the list. There were several great Interzone stories I'd have included, such as "Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast" by Eugie Foster. But it's Gardner's book and his choices, and I look forward to reading the stories I've missed.
