The cover for The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume 2 is here! The art is by the awesome John Berkey, and design is by the extremely wonderful Claudia Noble. Check it out!

I’m really delighted with the way the book has turned out, and can’t wait to see it when it comes back from the printer. Many thanks to Claudia, Jeremy, Jason and Ross at the Shade for the great job they’ve done on it. I’m hoping to have copies at Swancon next month. You can order a copy here. Oh, and just to reassure everyone, I am reading for volume three pretty much even as we speak.
