Plenty of good stories to be found this year says editor Harrison. Certainly a significant improvement over the dud they put out the year before, as this editions averages 3.50. No 5s, but a 4.5 and several 4s to be found.
One amusing addition that is worth a bonus 0.5 is Gahan Wilson's horror movie pocket computer, which apparently you plug where you are up to in a dodgy movie, and choose a possible end, and go to bed.
In a competing series, a mention was made of using this to write one paragraph stories, after putting in a few SF writer names in place of the generic 'man' and 'woman' etc.
