From Asimov to Zelazny (Sort Of): (Mostly) 20th-Century SF & Fantasy Short Fiction

Ok, it's actually from Aldiss to Zoline. Although I don't keep up with either genre as much as I used to, I read SF and fantasy voraciously for decades. This list comprises a number of titles and writers I enjoyed during that period and includes both original and reprint single-author collections and anthologies by divers hands. And yes, there's a lot of Harlan Ellison.
