The Best of Crank!
by Bryan Cholfin
Category: Fiction

The debut of CRANK! stunned the science fiction world with its disregard for obsolete notions of genre fiction, instead insisting on highly individual and imaginative fiction of literary distinction. This book presents the best from CRANK!. Voted One of the Top Ten Original Works of 1998. "If Asimov's SF and Analog are the meat and potatoes of short fiction in this field, Crank! was its Heimlich maneuver. The more we think about it, the more sense it makes that The Best of CRANK! shoved aside top-selling books from this year's most popular authors to claim a space on our Reader's Top Ten list. The only mystery is why it didn't place higher."--The SF Site Reader's Choice Awards At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
