The Best of World SF is my maaasive forthcoming anthology of international speculative fiction (though with more of a focus on science fiction), to be published in hardcover by Head of Zeus. I talk a little bit about it at Tor.com. The UK release is in April 2021, with the US following in June. Cover is by Ben Prior. £25, though you can pre-order it for less.
