FULL SPECTRUM

FULL SPECTRUM
   US ORIGINAL-ANTHOLOGY series published by BANTAM BOOKS since 1988, created by Lou ARONICA, 3 issues to date (Spring 1992): Full Spectrum (anth 1988), ed Aronica with Shawna MCCARTHY, \#2 (anth 1989), ed Aronicawith Pat Lobrutto, McCarthy and Amy Stout, and \#3 (anth 1991), ed Aronica with Betsy Mitchell and Stout. These are fat, prestigious volumes - an unusual publishing ploy at a time when conventional wisdom says sf ANTHOLOGIES sell badly - presumably designed to publicize the BantamSpectra sf line and to announce that Bantam remains a leader in the sf market. To date their only major award-winner has been "Bible Stories for Adults, No. 17: The Deluge" (1988) by James MORROW, which won a NEBULA,but a high count of FS stories have been shortlisted for awards, and FS itself won a Locus Award for Best Anthology in its first year. FS publishes a fairly high proportion of "literary" stories and a low proportion of HARD SF, and mixes well known authors with promising unknowns.
