New issue: Jonathan Edelstein, Stephen Hamilton, Alice Fanchiang, reviews
Added 2015-11-16 21:31:38 +0000 UTCAnother Monday, another issue:
For twenty-seven thousand years—through kingdoms and republics, through prophets and messiahs, through decay and collapse and rebirth—the city and the medical school had grown around each other.
I think that's one of my favourite first sentences this year,* and it comes from Jonathan Edelstein's story "First Do No Harm"; which is accompanied by Stephen Hamilton's art above. (Find out more about Stephen here). You can also listen to the audio here.
Also in this week's issue: Alice Fanchiang's poem, "Actaeon", and reviews of The Traitor Baru Cormorant (by Phoebe Salzman-Cohen, up here), Dark Orbit (on Wednesday), and Sorcerer to the Crown (Friday). As ever, enjoy!

*Note: obviously this is a provisional ranking because there are still six weeks of the year to go, which incidentally means everyone publishing a best-of-the-year list now is wrong wrong wrong, not that I have strong feelings about that sort of thing you understand.
