Archive for June, 2011

Theodora Goss. Pug. (Asimovs, July 2011).

A gentle story with a touch of Tom’s Midnight Garden, and a pinch of the Brontes/Austens.

Chris Beckett. Day 29. (Asimovs, July 2011).

A thoughtful story from Beckett, rather than being another tiresome story of xenolinguistics/psychology.

Interzone #234, May-June 2011.

Stories by Jon Ingold, Lavie Tidhar, Jason Sanford, Suzanne Palmer and Will McIntosh, with Ingold the pick of the ish imho.

Analog. March 2011.

Stories by Paul Carlson, John G. Hemry, Sarah Frost, Brad Aiken, Craig DeLancey, Bud Sparhawk, Jerry Oltion.

Don Webb. Fine Green Dust. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, May/June 2011).

Climate change is making it very hot in Austin, Texas, and a middle-aged teacher is struggling, as with many, to deal with the impact on his daily life.

Steven Popkes. Agent of Change. (Fantasy & Science Fiction May/June 2011)

A whaling vessel is sunk after colliding with a monstrous Gojira.

Tony Ballantyne. The War Artist. (Further Conflicts).

A clever take on what the role of the war artist might (has?) become in the 21st century.

Albert E. Cowdrey. The Black Mountain. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, May/June 2011)

Another macabre tale from New Orleans from the seemingly Duracell Extra-powered Cowdrey

Will McIntosh. Incompatible. (Interzone #234, May-June 2011)

McIntosh comes up trumps with a vividly realised protagonist and a setting.

Jason Sanford. Her Scientifiction, Far Future, Medieval Fantasy. (Interzone #234, May-June 2011).

A lengthy story that didn’t really gel for me.
