We’re running a two-part serialization of a new SF novelette by A.L Goldfuss: “Where the God-Knives Tread.” We also have two terrific flash SF pieces: “The Void Wyrm’s Guide to Devouring Stars” from AJ Wentz and “Excerpts from a Scientist's Notebook: Ancestral Memory in Europan Pseudocephalopods” by David DeGraff. Plus, we have original fantasy by Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe (“Immortality Soup, Or, An Excerpt from the Cookbook of the Gods”) and Jae Steinbacher (“What You Are and the Wolf”). We also have a flash story (“A Small God”) from Jeff Reynolds, and another (“Four Self-Care Secrets for a Long and Happy Life”) from Tina S. Zhu. All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author spotlights, along with book reviews from our terrific review team. Our ebook readers will also enjoy a book excerpt from Tlotlo Tsamaase's novel WOMB CITY.
