A is for Anthology
Mid 17th century:
via French or medieval Latin from Greek anthologia, from anthos 'flower' +
-logia 'collection' (from legein 'gather'). In Greek, the word originally
denoted a collection of the ‘flowers’ of verse, i.e. small choice poems or
epigrams, by various authors.
Parallels: Felix Was Here is a collection of short stories of the genre
speculative fiction. L. G. Keltner did a beautiful job of explaining
speculative fiction HERE!
Today we're sharing titles, taglines, and a little about each story (if you click the links) but each day of the challenge one of the authors will share a bit more!

Thanks, Natasha, they are all great reads. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteOh, fun! I had no idea that's what anthology meant. I've always heard "ology" as "study of" but the ideas are related, so I can see that. It probably actually means more "body of" which goes with both collection and study. Anth, though, would have stumped me entirely.
ReplyDeleteSo cool, I shared something informative. :) Thanks, Hart!
DeleteThis sounds like an anthology that I will invest in even though I am not reader of the speculative fiction genre.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the challenge.
Shalom,
