Bram Stoker Award-winning editor Al Sarrantonio follows up his critically acclaimed Redshift with the fantasy publishing event of the year. Flights: Extreme Visions of Fantasy is an all-new daring, star-packed anthology showcasing some of the genre's biggest names – and best newcomers.

In Redshift: Extreme Visions of Speculative Fiction, Al Sarrantonio handpicked thirty extraordinary works from established masters and promising newcomers in the field of speculative fiction. The result was an anthology that continued the science fiction landmark "Dangerous Visions' tradition of literate, cohesive, well-plotted stories untrammelled by inhibitions or prohibitions" (Chicago Sun-Times).
