psocopteraHi! Welcome to my annual read of online short SFF! For anyone who hasn't been around for this before, I plan to spend the next 6-ish weeks reading the 2019 stories published in Strange Horizons, Uncanny, Clarkesworld, and Lightspeed, the non-tie-in stuff on Tordotcom, anything that catches my eye at Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and maybe Fireside if I don't burn out, in approximately that order.
If anyone has favorite 2019 online short SFF stories from sources other than those magazines that you think I should check out, this post would be a great place to comment with links to them! If anyone has favorite 2019 short SFF stories from non-online sources that you think are so good that I should library-request an issue of a paper magazine, I would also be interested to hear about them.
My recs will try to remember to mention f/f content as a service to f/f-content-seeking readers, and will avoid spoilers.
In this batch: Strange Horizons Jul-Dec.
The Garden's First Rule, Sheldon Costa. Body horror and class exploitation.
Whom My Soul Loves, Rivqa Rafael. Lesbian Jewish mystic vs dybbuk.
Someday We'll Embrace This Distance, Niyah Morris. An f/f relationship with a twist, personal and vivid.
Regret, Return, Reignite, Audrey R. Hollis. More f/f, an Orpheus story.
Notes on a Resurrection, Natalia Theodoridou. A miracle in a modern town.
