At a book sale a while back, I acquired the 1986 anthology “101Science Fiction Stories”, edited by Martin Harry Greenberg, Charles G. Waugh, and Waugh’s then-teenage daughter Jenny-Lynn Waugh.

The anthology sat on one of my less accessible bookcases for a few years, until I rediscovered it while packing up for my recent move to a new apartment.

The stories are mostly quite short – some of them are barely two pages – and are of vastly differing levels of quality. Some of them — Algis Budrys’s “The Man Who Always Knew”! Poul Anderson’s “My Object All Sublime”! — are magnificent. Others are… considerably less so.

Over the next [indefinite period of time], I will be reviewing every story in the anthology. Be aware: many of these reviews will
completely spoil the twist endings!
