Omni Best Science Fiction Three

Once again Omni has put together a variety of top-quality stories that capture the imagination and entertain by featuring ten, new, never-before-published stories and a selected reprint from Omni magazine.

Omni Best Science Fiction Three presents two original stories, three novelettes, one original novella, and a group of short-shorts on the theme “battle of the sexes” with contributions by Ursula K. Le Guin, Thomas M. Disch, john Crowley, and Gahan Wilson. Laugh at a twisted tale of alien sex by Pat Cadigan; shudder at a more horrific take on the subject of sexuality by lan McDonald; be moved by a story of loneliness in a desert way station for the dead by Bruce McAllister; and be horrified by a tale of a dangerous experiment by Simon Ings.

Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author Pat Murphy presents a joyous, thoughtful off-world exploration. Also featured is an original novella by Scott Baker about computers, cows, and cults; and a reprinted novelette by Thomas M. Disch.
