Some of the Best from Tor.com: 2012 Edition
A really, really good anthology. It was free, and worth every penny. Seriously though, I'd gladly pay for it.The standout piece, for me, was Pat Murphy's About Fairies (which you can read online on its own, http://www.tor.com/stories/2012/05/about-fairies). I don't know -- there's just something haunting about the narration. A sort of a quiet desperation combined with an undercurrent of compassion that really got to me. Sounds fuzzy, I know, but it's a worthy read, I promise.
