What Anthology Series Should I Review?

I’m involved in a conversation on Twitter in which the DAW Year’s Best Fantasy Stories series came up.  The series was originally edited by Lin Carter followed by Arthur W. Saha.  I’ve got most of them.  I was thinking about reading through them and reviewing.  Things should lighten up for a bit in about two weeks, once finals are over and I’ve gotten my grades in.  I think I’ll have a little time.

But then I got to thinking.  I’ve got several anthology series that might be of interest to readers of this blog.  There’s the Swords Against Darkness edited by Andrew Ouffutt, Whispers (Stuart David Schiff), Shadows (Charles L. Grant), and Karl Edward Wagner’s Year’s Best Horror Stories from DAW.

I had been toying with the idea of reading through another DAW series, Isaac Asimov Presents the Great SF Stories when John O’Neill invited me to blog about the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series.  I haven’t ruled that one out, but it’s probably not one I want to tackle right now.

So what do you think?  Would you like to see a series of posts on one of these anthology series?  If so, which one?
