2022 online SFF - Lightspeed
Apr. 26th, 2023 05:48 pmApolépisi: A De-Scaling, Suzan Palumbo, Lightspeed. Humanity as a mermaid terminal illness.
In the Beginning of Me, I Was a Bird, Maria Dong, Lightspeed. Transmigrations. Reminded me of This Is How You Lose the Time War, particularly recommended.
The Noon Witch Goes to Sound Planet, Kristina Ten, Lightspeed. A teen girl trying to reject her magical heritage at Coachella. NOVELETTE.
The CRISPR Cookbook: A Guide to Biohacking Your Own Abortion in a Post-Roe World, MKRNYILGLD, Lightspeed. Some very angry near-future worldbuilding around some very sharp science talk. Damn. Particularly recommended.
Welcome to Oxhead, Julianna Baggott, Lightspeed. An inconclusive but vivid teens-discover-world-is-artificial sort of story.
Picnic, with Monster, Susan Palwick, Lightspeed. A guy who sees monsters, and a monster.
The Cheesemaker and the Undying King, Lina Rather, Lightspeed. Where "cheesemaker" is medieval for "microbiologist", more or less. I really liked this one.
The Fairy Godmother Advice Column, Leah Cypess, Lightspeed. Where "who advises the advisor" has... gone a certain way.
Nine Tails of a Soap Empire, Maria Dong, Lightspeed. Fantasy with a soapmaker and a gumiho.
Plausible Realities, Improbable Dreams, Isabel J. Kim, Lightspeed. A multiverse malfunction.
