We are thrilled to announce the 2013 edition of Some of the Best from Tor.com, an anthology of twenty-one of our favorite stories, selected from the sixty-plus stories we published this year. Of course, you can always read these—and all other—Tor.com stories for free whenever you’d like, but starting November 5th they will be available world-wide as a single, easy to read, free mini ebook. This offer is available world-wide throughout all ebook retailers. (Kindle readers can pre-order it now.)
These stories were acquired and edited for Tor.com by Patrick Nielsen Hayden, Ellen Datlow, Ann VanderMeer, Liz Gorinsky, George R. R. Martin, Noa Wheeler, Melissa Frain, and Claire Eddy. Each story is accompanied by an original illustration.

Creating this short list was a very difficult process. To see all our original fiction publications, please visit our prose index. I would like to thank our authors, editors, artists, and readers for making this a fantastic year of fiction for us.
I tried to Tweet it, but the notice was too many words, or so I was told. Just letting you know.
Nice, just pre-ordered my copy . . . and Tweeted it in the process!
Tried to pre-order. But alas, it is only for amazon.com (us) and not available for amazon.de customers.
Will you allow downloading from your site as well?
Got it. It seriously needs a proofreading pass.
