New issue and $9k!
Added 2016-10-10 18:50:14 +0000 UTCGreetings!
It's a good Monday: we've got not just a new issue for you, but also another piece of bonus content.
Issue first: our story is "Timothy" by Philip Schweitzer. What's it about?
Very early on a bright, sunny morning, Marie LaRue finds her great-great-grandmother's corpse lying in bed. Marie's walked in on worse, though, and isn't upset like she was the first time. She takes the usual accoutrements of a resurrection from a drawer in the night-stand: two damp cloths to go over Frances's eyes, and a C# tuning fork to sound the life back into her.
These days, it's impossible to bring most people back. It's been hit-and-miss for a while now. When Marie's baby, Timothy, died, they couldn't bring him back. Not with all the money in the world.
Read on, as they say, to find out more.
Also in the issue: a poem by Rose Lemberg, a Metagames column on Pokemon Go by Andrea Phillips, and our usual reviews, starting with Nina Allan on <cite>The Border of Paradise</cite> by Esmé Weijun Wang.
And then there's that bonus round-table: a many-thousand-words exploration of <cite>Escape</cite> and <cite>The Island of Lost Girls</cite> by Manjula Padmanabhan, with contributions from Hena Mehta, Samira Nadkarni, and Shashi Mike. It will take you a little while, but it's a brilliant, fascinating read, well worth your time. So go check it out!
(Seven days of fund drive to go.)
