Short fiction has always been an important part of Baxter’s output alongside his novels. Many of his ideas first appeared in shorter form before being developed into full books, and the collections give readers a chance to see those ideas in their more concentrated form.
The Imaginings series gathers work published across various magazines and anthologies, making it easier to find pieces that might otherwise require tracking down old issues of Interzone or Analog. For readers who want to explore the edges of his imagination beyond the major series, these collections are a reasonable place to look.
