Some great authors and some great stories. I really like the short short story and these authors do it well. I recommend this book to all fans of spec fic or short stories.

Aliens from A to Z

A fine collection of very short stories, most averaging about six pages. The selections span stories culled from both leading and relatively unknown short story publications and collections of the twentieth century. While most stories are from the latter half of the twentieth century, a few earlier classics from H. P. Lovecraft are included as well as as several gems from the Golden Age.
