The Order of the Hot Potato
And now, since “Bewildering” Stories is a friend of the unconventional, here are the 16 most controversial works of the quarter, the ones on which the Review Editors’ opinions diverged significantly for one reason or another.
The titles are listed in descending order with the most controversial first. Five of the titles appear among the Editors’ Choices, including two that qualify for the Annual Review.

The Order of Merit
Here are links to the top winners, the most highly rated works in each genre represented by more than one title in this Quarterly Review. The categories are listed in the order in which they normally appear in a regular issue Index or Readers’ Guide. Place your bets — figuratively, of course — and then click on the category links.
In Short Stories, the difference between 1st and 5th place is negligible, and it is about half the difference between 5th and 6th place. Accordingly, your Managing Editor declares a five-way tie. In keeping with Bewildering Stories’ astronomical motif, the winners are designated by the names of space telescopes and are listed in chronological order of the stories’ publication.
