Lucky for me (and you, I guess), there was a story … Continue reading Story Recommendations – September 2022

Story Recommendations – August 2022
After a long summer break in July, the monthly shor story recommendations are back. Aside from the few golden nuggets who made the list, June wasn't a great month for reading, so I decided to change my habbits a bit; I started reading Uncanny Magazine regularly (well, listening to their podcast, mostly). That proved a … Continue reading Story Recommendations – August 2022

As always, just before the deadline, here are the monthly story recommendations. I'll be honest, this wasn't exactly the best month I've ever had when it comes to finding short stories.

Hey there, fellow readers. May's story recommendations are in. This time, Uncanny Magazine has made its mark on the list.

Story Recommendations – November 2021
For the November edition of my monthly short story recommendations, I've finally started to work through my backlog of Daily Science Fiction stories.
