psocopteraI picked up some of these from Charles Payseur's Quick Sip Reviews and particularly his Sippy Awards, some from the Lady Business blog's Hugo recs, some from the Locus list, some just from... somewhere.
The Thing In the Walls Wants Your Small Change, Virginia M. Mohlere, Luna Station Quarterly. Adorable story dedicated to iguanamouth (this comic, in particular).
More Tomorrow, Premee Mohamed, Automata. A scientist stranded in the Devonian, trying to survive.
The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington, Phenderson Djèlí Clark, Fireside. I would call this an awards-season frontrunner; it's on the Nebula ballot and I've heard enough buzz around it that I think we'll probably see it on the Hugos. Some neat magical alternate history. What's up with teeth this year, though, I feel like there have really been an atypical number of stories involving teeth. (I haven't been reccing them all, but I think I've recced a couple.)
Memento Mori, Tiah Marie Beautement, Omenana. A mer-lady with Ehlers-Danlos who's dating Death.
If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again, Zen Cho, the B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog. An imugi - a Korean proto-dragon - trying to become a full-fledged dragon. I loved this. Cho is so, so good.
Wild Ones, Vanessa Fogg, Bracken. This is *such* a middle-aged mom story but, lo.
Orange World, Karen Russell, The New Yorker. A new mom makes a bargain, and then has to deal with it. NOVELETTE
