Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois Ace anthology series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois have jointly edited a series of themed science fiction and fantasy anthologies, published by Ace Books.

The series has been published since 1982, usually with one or two volumes per year, with 35 volumes as of 2007. The series was originally known as the "Magic Tales Anthology Series" until 1995. Before that time, each of the volumes was themed around a certain type of "magic" entities; this guideline was abandoned in 1996 when the series switched its focus to more strictly science fiction themes, beginning with Hackers.

The stories selected for the books tend to be reprints of previously published stories, some of them decades old. Each book has a preface by the editors, along with a short introduction for each of the stories, focused on other works by the story's author.

Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois also co-edited three science fiction or fantasy anthologies that are not part of this series and are not published by Ace Books: Future Power (1976), Wizards: Magical Tales From the Masters of Modern Fantasy (2007), and The New Space Opera (2007).
