We have original science fiction by Isabel J. Kim (“The Narrative Implications of Your Untimely Death”) and Jendayi Brooks-Flemister (“From the Largest Crater”). We also have two flash SF pieces: “The Last Serving” from Lincoln Michel, and “A Guide to Alien Terms Useful in the Human Diaspora” by Deborah L. Davitt. For original fantasy, we’re starting with a short by Scott Edelman (“A Man Walks into a Bar: In Which More Than Four Decades After My Father’s Reluctant Night of Darts on West 54th Street I Finally Understand What Needs to Be Done”). Then we have an original fantasy short by Maria Dong (“Braid Me a Howling Tongue”) and a reprint from Seanan McGuire (“In the Deep Woods; The Light is Different There”). We also have “Between the Stones and the Stars,” a flash story by A.L. Goldfuss. Of course we also have our usual assortment of author spotlights, along with book reviews from our terrific review team.
