19.5x12 cm. Col. Fantasy, 3. Trad. de César Terrón. Con este volumen se inica la publicación de una serie de antologías escogidas que, a lo largo de la colección, irán dando a conocer los mejores relatos de fantasía. Para ello, nada más indicado que el que ahora aparece bajo el subtítulo de "Se vende magia", presentado por Avram Davidson. "Los mejores relatos de Fantasía I" reúne de modo casi milagroso los dos aciertos que debe tener una buena antología. El primero, obviamente, es una hábil selección de las historias que la forman, cuyo nivel medio sólo puede calificarse de soberbio. El segundo, aún más raro, es el haber sabido encontrar un concepto original que le sirva de marco temático: los relatos incluidos aquí se centran alrededor de comercios enigmáticos e inexplicables en los que puede hallarse, literalmente, de todo. Cuando el cliente empuja sus puertas polvorientas, no sabe qué va a saludarle desde los estantes cubiertos de telarañas y los sucios mostradores..., todo puede encontrarse, en este mundo o en otro, siempre que se esté dispuesto a pagar su precio. A veces de forma terrorífica, otras con un humor chispeante, pero siempre derrochando imaginación, firmas del calibre de Alfred Bester, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Sprague de Camp, Terry Carr, Harlan Ellison, Robert Silverberg, Theodore Sturgeon, H. G. Wells y Jane Yolen, entre otros, desarrollan este apasionante tema de modo magistral. Contiene: Tienda de chatarra. John Brosnan (Junk shop, 1968) - Del tiempo y la tercera avenida. Alfred Bester (Of Time and Third Avenue, 1951) - Cada cual su botella. John Collier (Bottle party, 1939) - Tal como esta. Robert Silverberg (As Is, 1968) - La capa. Robert Bloch (The Cloak, 1939) - Piedra de toque. Terry Carr (Touchstone, 1964) - Doctor Bhumbo Singh. Avram Davidson (Dr. Bhumbo Singh, 1982) - El heroe es unico. Harlan Ellison (The Cheese Stands Alone, 1982) - El triton malasio. Jane Yolen (The Malaysian Mer, 1982) - Bebase entero: contra la locura de masas. Ray Bradbury (Drink Entire: Against the Madness of Crowds, 1976) - Elephas Frumenti. L. Sprague de Camp y Fletcher Pratt (Elephas Frumenti, 1950) - Tellero bo. Theodore Sturgeon (Shottle Bop, 1941) - El huevo de cristal. H. G. Wells (The Crystal Egg, 1897) - La mujer del vestido genético. Daniel Gilbert (The Woman in the designer genes, 1980)
