According to Derleth, the stories were selected as "favorites" by the authors involved, who provide short explanations for their choices. P. Schuyler Miller, although noting the stories "aren't all deathless prose," characterized them as "examples of the editor's good taste in writers and the authors' good taste in the difficult job of screening their own writings."[1]

gollark: It serves as a subsidy for whoever happens to rent the thing first, and does not fix any underlying problem or provide people with choices.
gollark: No, my issue is that it isn't very good charity.

gollark: I don't even know what economic system would actually work at this point but some markety thing seems to be the best available in a lot of domains.
