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. As has been the case the last couple of months, I've haven't had the time to read as much as I wanted. That aside, … Continue reading Story Recommendations – June 2022

Story Recommendations – May 2022
Hey there, fellow readers. May's story recommendations are in. This time, Uncanny Magazine has made its mark on the list. It's been a while since I really dived into Uncanny's magazine, and back then, their stories didn't really hook me. Either my taste has changed or I just didn't give them enough of chance back … Continue reading Story Recommendations – May 2022
Story Recommendations – January 2022
Welcome all to the first short story recommendations of the year! To get the year off to good start, I've dug through various magazines and anthologies to provide quality stories for all of you people reading along (which also means this isn't the month I finally work through my Daily Science Fiction backlog). A Night … Continue reading Story Recommendations – January 2022
Story Recommendations – December 2021
Merry Christmas everyone! It's time for the final story recommendations of the year. For that occasion, I've dug out a couple of stories from one of my very favorite writers of all time, Neil Gaiman. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did. Chivalry by Neil Gaiman (Smoke and Mirrors ): An … Continue reading Story Recommendations – December 2021
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. I took a month or two away from DSF stories, for not apparent reason really. Getting back to them, though, I was reminded just why I love that particular magazine so much. … Continue reading Story Recommendations – November 2021
Story Recommendations – September 2021
For once, I managed to collect the monthly recommendation well before the last minute. Hooray! As promised in the August recommendation post, there will be several stories from the Unidentified Funny Objects 8 (UFO 8) anthology coming up in the next couple of months. As those stories aren't free online, I will link to the … Continue reading Story Recommendations – September 2021
Story Recommendations – July 2021
So... July has been another slow month, both when it comes to the amount of short stories I managed to read and in regards to finding gems amongst those stories. I really should stop being surprised by this since it's the same issue every summer. Though, I still can't quite wrap my head around why … Continue reading Story Recommendations – July 2021
Story Recommendations – June 2021
June's short story recommendations are not only late, they also horrible short. And for that I'm sorry. I haven't had great luck with the stories I've read the last couple of weeks, but mostly, the short, late list is do my summer holiday. The holiday is coming to an end, though, so hopefully July's recommendations … Continue reading Story Recommendations – June 2021
Story Recommendations – November 2020
Some of you might've noticed that my short story recommendations for October never went up, and for that I'm sorry. The good news are that I missed putting up the recommendations because my wife gave birth to our daughter. So, yeah, I've been more than busy trying to keep the little devil alive and happy, … Continue reading Story Recommendations – November 2020
