The last batch of short story recs from the Locus list! Next up: hopefully Locus novelettes.
Heard, Half-Heard, in the Stillness, Iona Datt Sharma, Anathema. The meaning of human spaceflight programs.
AirBody, Sameem Siddiqui, Clarkesworld. Body rentals like AirBnB; identity and culture.
Spider Season, Fire Season, Carlie St. George, Nightmare. Solidarity between victims and survivors of violence.
Georgie in the Sun, Natalia Theodoridou, Uncanny. I'm not entirely sure the game gimmick in this works for me but the core concept, a vampire, a human, space travel, and stasis, is so good that it's making the list anyways.
High in the Clean Blue Air, Emma Törzs, Uncanny. Wereloons? Loon shifters? I don't know, it was good.
My Country is a Ghost, Eugenia Triantafyllou, Uncanny. Immigration and heritage.
Open House on Haunted Hill, John Wiswell, Diabolical Plots. Cute story about a benevolent haunted house.
