Each year stories are chosen from large and small literary magazines and a panel of distinguished writers is enlisted to award the top prizes. The result is a superb collection of twenty inventive, full-bodied stories representing the very best in American and Canadian fiction.

Praise

High praise for Prize Stories 1999:

"Prize Stories is eerier, broodier, chancier, and ultimately more alive to the genre’s exhilarating unpredictability [than The Best American Short Stories]."–Entertainment Weekly

"Interesting and unconventional."–Seattle Post-Intelligencer
