Fantasy's not really my thing so most of these stories I found rather bland. There are a few that did impress me:
A Son of the sea - Priya Sharma. A rootless young man is irresistibly drawn to the ocean.
The Guile - Ian McDonald. A stage magician tries to outfox an AI in Reno (this is SF not fantasy).
We can make something grow between the mushrooms and the snow - kirsty logan. A couple looking for a new home have very different views.
Road Dog - Tade Thompson. A strange jazz trumpeter turns up in a bar in the 1940's.
Dark Shells - Aliya Whiteley. An old woman whispers to the river. ( )

Very interesting collection of stories, some you're sure to like, dear reader. I particuarly enjoyed "The Prevaricator," by Matthew Hughes and "Coruvorn," by Reggie Oliver. YMMV. ( )

Great short story anthology absolutely love it! Great range of odd, amusing, old, and modern stories. Anthologies are my favourite type of books and this one fits right in my collection.

Compared to other anthologies I’ve read recently, I found this to be a very mixed bag. I also found their definition of fantasy to be rather elastic - Godzilla poetry is fantasy???

Ranging from fairly traditional stories through to what I would describe as magical realism, most contributions were reasonably readable, a few eminently so.

OK but I’m glad I got it as a freebie. I prefer more tightly curated anthologies to ‘Best of’ (which often come across as ‘we haven’t got enough so we’ve got to add padding’).

The “Best of British Fantasy 2018” lives up to its historical forewriters but with modern trappings! Here dwells imagination, surprise and adroit story telling. Standouts include Priya Sharma’s, evolutionarily informed, risky and risqué, “Son of the Sea;” Ian MacDonald’s, deft handling of and in “The Guile;” “The Moss Child” by Lisa Fransson, is serene nocturne with naturalistic echoes of Arthur Machen. Matthew Hughes’, “The Prevaricator,” is a perfect homage to Jack Vance. “Coruvorn,” by Reggie Oliver, seems like an archetypal sort of sweetmeat to me. If that’s not enough, many more stories are listed in the back. Long live British fantasy! ( )
