"Nearly all original anthologies. books of new stories. also have a theme. A collection of lesbian cat vampire stories for example. all set in an altemate world where Abraham Lincoln married Queen Victoria. (If l'm exaggerating. it s not by much!) Theme anthologies are the only ones most publishers will produce. Ifs as if the reader wants to know what to expect before they even start a story: it must be something very like the previous one... But that isn t what happens with New Worlds. where "new" means exactly what it says. There is no theme. All the stories are comptetely different. They have no connection with each other or with any which have appeared in previous volurT)es."
