From 2000 to 2010 the Science Fiction Book Club commissioned and published a dozen anthologies of original stories. SFBC had published original books before, but they were mostly omnibuses of previously published novels, or anthologies of reprinted stories, most edited by Marvin Kaye. Kaye did the first couple original anthologies before other editors were invited: Robert Silverberg, Mike Resnick, Gardner Dozois, Jack Dann, and finally Jonathan Strahan.
These were all substantial books of long stories, six or seven novellas in each volume. Kaye's
The Fair Folk won a World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology. The Charles Stross story won a Locus Award, while the stories by Gregory Benford, Ian McDonald, and Robert J. Sawyer were Hugo and/or Nebula nominees.
Robert Reed is in five of the ten volumes. Tanith Lee is in four of Marvin Kaye's five.
