The Complete Short Stories by J. G. Ballard (Flamingo, November 5, 2001, 0-00-712405-8, £25.00, ix+1189pp, hc, co)     Massive compendium of 96 SF/fantasy stories. 4 are appearing in a Ballard collection for the first time, the rest previously appeared in The Voices of Time (1962), The Terminal Beach (1964), The Disaster Area (1967), The Day of Forever (1967), Vermilion Sands (1971), Low-Flying Aircraft 1976), The Venus Hunters (1980), Myths of the Near Future (1982), War Fever (1990), and The Atrocity Exhibition (1969). This compendium deliberately omits all-but-two of the stories from The Atrocity Exhibition (which Ballard does not consider to be a collection), and a further 6 stories (published between 1970 and 1996), so a total of 22 stories are omitted. ix · Introduction · J.
