The Long List Anthology, Volume 6: More Stories From the Hugo Award Nomination List
This is the sixth annual edition of the Long List Anthology. Every year, supporting members of WorldCon nominate their favorite stories first published during the previous year to determine the top five in each category for the final Hugo Award ballot. This is an anthology collecting more of the stories from that nomination list to get them to more readers.
The Long List Anthology Volume 6 collects 20 science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories from that nomination list, totaling over 450 pages of fiction by writers from all corners of the world. From deepfake girlfriends to death-defying magicians, alternate history space programs to dead mothers haunting their surviving children, from vast alien libraries to modern spins on ancient mythology. There are a wide variety of styles and types of stories here, and something for everyone.

There's a few gems
For the price, this series is pretty good overall. There's some years where there's too much crazy metaphor in many stories. I prefer the years where you see little subplots of a larger 'verse that the author writes novels in
