I re-ordered Lin Carter Presents The Year's Best Fantasy Stories 6 for one reason alone. That was Brian Lumley's short story, Cryptically Yours. Not only because I enjoyed that tale back in 1980, but because it was the inspiration for a little writing project my brother John and I worked on, the letters between two wizards, John Craft and Scramasax. Each letter was a short story in itself; three of these still exist. So the volume is rather entangled with my memories. It might be a gas to reread the other stories and see what I think of them now.
