psocopteraThis is everything I already had in my notes from earlier in the year from magazines other than the ones I've already covered, which as it turns out was just the first Sen story. Plus Giganotosaurus, plus the stories I liked out of everything on the Locus list that was online that I hadn't already read, plus I read the rest of an anthology that some stories on the Locus list came from.
Ten Excerpts from an Annotated Bibliography on the Cannibal Women of Ratnabar Island, Nibedita Sen, Nightmare Magazine. I like the way this format gives the impression of a slow reveal in a very small number of words.
Now Wait for This Week, Alice Sola Kim. MeToo and time loop stories. NOVELETTE.
The Ocean Between the Leaves, Ray Nayler. Renting a body as a medical service. NOVELETTE.
We Sang You as Ours, Nibedita Sen. Merfolk and choices.
The Doing and Undoing of Jacob E. Mwangi, E. Lily Yu. Life in the universal basic income world. Reminds me of the last chapter of Clockwork Orange, except in a much kinder and gentler world.
Three from Giganotosaurus:
The Devil Squid Apocalypse, Alex Acks. Aliens vs punks.
The Etiquette of Mythique Fine Dining, Carolyn Rahaman. A new chef at a restaurant that serves magical food, enduring the culture of the kitchen. NOVELETTE.
Hand Me Downs, Maria Haskins. A troll girl and a troll dance.
Four from an online anthology, Current Futures, all near-future SF with ocean themes. Gosh I love a themed anthology.
Sturdy Lanterns and Ladders, Malka Older. Climate grief, and an octopus.
Mother Ocean, Vandana Singh. A woman who loves the ocean, and a blue whale.
Her Seal Skin Coat, Lauren Beukes. A purely SF take on selkie stories.
The Body Remembers, Kameron Hurley. A vet with PTSD, and the idea of hope.
