Editor's Review ★★☆★★

AudioBook Atlas

The narration in 'The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2023' truly sets it apart, featuring performances by a talented ensemble. Will Tulin's portrayal of a haunted detective adds an eerie undertone to one story, while Chanté McCormick's voice is mesmerizing as she guides listeners through the mysterious landscapes. The pacing varies; some tales are slow-burning and atmospheric, which can feel like a languid cruise across uncharted territories. However, this approach might leave you yearning for more urgency in certain fast-paced narratives. Overall, the anthology delivers a rich tapestry of speculative fiction that will appeal to fans of both literature and fantasy seeking fresh perspectives.
