* "Literature/TheUnquietGrave", by Creator/WinonaMcClintic
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
The "Soul Mate" entry links to Soulmate, which is a completely unrelated work. I added the year of publication to avoid the unrelated work showing up on this index and to avoid a namespace clash in case somebody creates a page for the work.

!!This {{Anthology}} provides examples of the following tropes:
* BilledAboveTheTitle: It is a ZigZaggedTrope example for the ''9th Series'' cover with ''Flowers for Algernon and other stories'' published as if it was the title, then editor Creator/RobertPMills, then the title ''The Best From Fantasy and Science Fiction''.
* FishbowlHelmet: One cover for the ''Eighth Series'' volume has a squad of bubble-headed spacemen heading towards a [[RetroRocket missile-like spaceship]] in the background.
* LongRunningBookSeries: First published in 1952, and lasting until 1982, it's 24 volumes (called ''Series'' on the cover) of the best works published in ''Magazine/TheMagazineOfFantasyAndScienceFiction''.
* OrwellianRetcon: The {{Creator/Panther}} publication of the ''Eleventh Series'' volume removes "[[Literature/SoftlyWhileYoureSleeping Softly While You're Sleeping]]" by Creator/EvelynESmith and "{{Literature/George}}" by Creator/JohnAnthonyWest.
* SpotlightStealingTitle: The ''Ninth Series'' volume was republished after 1968 by Creator/AceBooks with ''Flowers for Algernon and Other Stories'' on the cover, displacing the original title and adding the {{Tagline}} of "The prize-winning story behind the great movie ''Charly''" above everything.
* RetroRocket:
** The first volume's cover has a cigar-shaped spaceship flying across a cloudy alien landscape with a crescent-shaped ringed moon in the sky.
** The ''Fourth Series'' volume's cover (1955 Creator/{{Doubleday}} version) has a tall missile-like green spaceship with huge, but thin, fins. The spaceship is sitting upright in a barren desert with tall thin mountains around it.
** Both versions of the ''Fifth Series'' volume cover (Creator/{{Doubleday}} and Creator/AceBooks) has a different missile-like ship. The first cover has one that is plain brown with two sets of fins (small on top and large ones at the base), and is taking off from a desert. The second cover has one that is brown, but with green glass bulbs at the base, the two sets of fins are smaller and rounded, and has their landing struts fully engaged on the surface. It looks more like what an insectoid species would develop, encouraged by the insect-like mask in the bottom-left of the cover.
** The ''Sixth Series'' volume's cover (1968 Creator/AceBooks version) has a tall missile-like white spaceship with two sets of thin fins (top and base of the ship) taking off in the background while two figures fight in the foreground on a bright white sandy desert with a nighttime sky.
** Both versions of the ''Seventh Series'’ volume cover (Creator/{{Doubleday}} and Creator/AceBooks) have a different dart-like ships. The first cover has a white with red highlights ship in space getting repairs with a larger space station nearby giving supplies. The second cover has a conical yellow ship in the background (and three more so far they're mere smudges) and a tall white building that looks like another rocket.
** The ''Eighth Series'' volume's cover (1959 Creator/{{Doubleday}} version) has a tall, thin white cigar-shaped spaceship in the distance, with a squad of [[FishbowlHelmet bubble-headed spacemen]] heading towards it. The Creator/AceBooks 1963 version has two slightly different silver dart-shaped spaceships in the top-left background, but they're hard to see details for.
** The ''Eleventh Series'' volume's later cover (1966 Creator/AceBooks version) has four tall dark-grey cigar-shaped rockets taking off from an alien background with only two small fins near the ejection port.
** The ''Twelfth Series'' volume's later cover (1967 Creator/AceBooks version) has a bullet-shaped ship with no fins and a light grey hull on a very busy background.
* {{Robosexual}}: The Creator/{{Doubleday}} cover for ''Eighteenth Series'' has a woman nearly being kissed by an obviously robotic man.
* ShoutOut: The Creator/AceBooks ''23rd Edition'' cover has an image that resembles "Art/TheDivineMercy", a painting of Jesus, with a right hand raised in benediction, and the left hand revealing their heart.
