We have original science fiction by Peter Watts (“The Twenty-One Second God”) and Marissa Lingen (“All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt”). We also have two terrific flash pieces: (“Dimensional Living Complex Malfunction Causes Body Horror and Inspires Potential Reform”) from Reyes Ramirez and (“See Now the Misfortune of the Thinking Tenax” by Lowry Poletti.) Plus, we have original fantasy by Vanessa Fogg (“When the Faerie King Toured the Human Realm”) and Carrie Vaughn (“A Week at the Raven Feather Salon”). We also have a flash story (“Eyes Grown Thick on the World”) from Will McMahon, and another (“My Mother, the Supervillain”) from Benjamin Blattberg. All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author spotlights, along with book reviews from our terrific review team.
