We have "The 13 Crimes of Science Fiction" around here somewhere. Way past time to sort/alphabetize/index the books; "13 Crimes" is hiding somewhere among the thousand or so SF hardcovers.

I think every story in there is worth reading. It was there that I first discovered Randall Garrett's "Lord Darcy" stories.</font> That’s a great book. I think every story in there is worth reading.

I knew this story sounded familiar, but I didn't think I'd ever heard of Tenn. But that was definitely one of my favorite stories in this collection, along with Asimov's The Singing Bell.
