In its pages, you will find science fiction: from near-future, sociological soft SF, to far-future, star-spanning hard SF--and fantasy: from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales. This month, we have original science fiction by Shale Nelson ("Pay Phobetor") and Vandana Singh ("Wake-Rider"), along with SF reprints by N. K. Jemisin ("Valedictorian") and Paul Park ("The Lost Sepulcher of Huascar Capec"). We also have a bonus story to wrap up this year: a reprint of "They Tell Me There Will Be No Pain," by Rachael Acks, which first appeared in the limited edition of June's Women Destroy Science Fiction! special issue. Plus, we have original fantasy by Nik Houser ("The Drawstring Detective") and Damien Angelica Walters ("A Lie You Give, and Thus I Take"), and fantasy reprints by Delia Sherman ("The Faerie Cony-Catcher") and Nalo Hopkinson ("Soul Case"). All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with feature interviews with authors Kim Harrison and Steven Gould. For our ebook readers, we also have our usual ebook-exclusive novella reprint: "The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines" by John Crowley.
