Showcasing the finest weird fiction from 2015, volume 3 of the Year's Best Weird Fiction is our biggest and most ambitious volume to date. Acclaimed editors Simon Strantzas and Michael Kelly bring their keen editorial sensibilities to the third volume of the Year's Best Weird Fiction. The best weird stories of 2015 features work from Robert Aickman, Matthew M. Bartlett, Sadie Bruce, Nadia Bulkin, Ramsey Campbell, Brian Conn, Brian Evenson, L.S. Johnson, Rebecca Kuder, Tim Lebbon, Reggie Oliver, Lynda E. Rucker, Robert Shearman, Christopher Slatsky, D.P. Watt, Michael Wehunt, Marian Womack, Genevieve Valentine No longer the purview of esoteric readers, weird fiction is enjoying wide popularity. Chiefly derived from early 20th-century pulp fiction, its remit includes ghost stories, the strange and macabre, the supernatural, fantasy, myth, philosophical ontology, ambiguity, and a healthy helping of the outre. At its best, weird fiction is an intersecting of themes and ideas that explore and subvert the Laws of Nature. It is not confined to one genre, but is the most diverse and welcoming of all genres.… (plus d'informations)

3.5 stars rounded up to a hesitant 4. While I liked most of the stories I don't think there was any new ground broken here as I would expect in a weird fiction anthology purporting to be the best. I didn't see some of these stories as that weird at all and feel like on the whole it read more like the usual tepid year's best horror anthologies. Other than the first volume in this series I've been somewhat disappointed as I expected this series to break out of the mold cast by Datlow, Jones, and Guran each year.
Maybe a year is just too short of a timeframe to find enough top notch weirdness to fill a book. I've found the Strange Tales series from Tartarus Press to be much more rewarding. I guess I just expect more from editors of this caliber and background. I guess I expect to be challenged more by either content or style in something like this where the boundaries are wide open.
