Table of Contents for Is There Anybody Out There? Edited by Givers & Halpern

One of my reading goals of 2010 is to get to more short fiction.  Part of that will surely be accomplished with Is There Anybody Out There?, which I mentioned in my 2010 anthology round-up.  I was tipped off to the TOC release from the always helpful Marty Halpern.  As soon as I saw the list I was shocked by the inclusion of James Morrow. That was all I needed to make sure to pick-up a copy. As if I needed another reason.  It is quite a line-up of wonderful short story writers such as Jay Lake, Paul Di Filippo, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch all checking in on the idea of why if there are aliens haven't we heard from them already?

Paul McAuley, “Introduction: Here Comes Everyone”
Michael Arsenault, “Residue”
Pat Cadigan, “The Taste of Night”
Paul Di Filippo, “Galaxy of Mirrors”
Sheila Finch, “Where Two or Three”
Matthew Hughes, “Timmy, Come Home”
Alex Irvine, “The Word He Was Looking for Was Hello”
Jay Lake, “Permanent Fatal Errors”
David Langford, “Graffiti in the Library of Babel”
Yves Meynard, “Good News from Antares”
James Morrow, “The Vampires of Paradox”
Mike Resnick & Lezli Robyn, “Report From the Field”
Kristine Kathryn Rusch, “The Dark Man”
Felicity Shoulders & Leslie What, “Rare Earth”
Ray Vukcevich, “One Big Monkey”
Ian Watson, “A Waterfall of Lights”

Halpern has done a long post about the anthology including descriptions of each story that is worth checking out.
