This is the eighth annual edition of the Long List Anthology. Every year, supporting members of WorldCon nominate their favorite stories first published during the selected year to determine the top five in each category for the final Hugo Award ballot. This is an anthology collecting more of the stories from that nomination list to reach more readers.

The Long List Anthology volume 8 collects 21 science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories from that nomination list, totaling over 400 pages of fiction by writers around the world. From magical couches to impossible radio broadcasts, from robotic uprisings to rogue artist AIs, from gigantic alien telepaths to elaborate death trials held on a deadly stage. There is something here for everyone.
