"I Demand Knives," by Sasha Brown ( @sashabrown ), Interstellar Flight Magazine, Oct 2024. Flash fiction, a different take on horror's Final Girl. The content warning says it all: "Content warning: knives; murder with the knives
honestly, it’s a lot of knives
sorry"

Five Functions of Your Bionosaur,” Rachael K. Jones (Small Wonders, October 2023, reprint). Very short but makes an impact. Well-written, a little bittersweet, and uplifting. Love is never obsolete. Recommended. https://smallwondersmag.com/pieces/five-functions-of-your-bionosaur/

"The Only Way Out" by Louise Hughes (@SmallWondersSFF, August 2023). Urban fantasy in which a taxi driver, helping those in need, receives an unexpected request.

Poignant, bittersweet, uplifting. Recommended.

"6 Must-Have Sentient Spellbooks (and How to Find Them)" by Alexei Collier (Worlds of Possibility, 2023). Vignettes in the form of a cute list of spellbooks that is unexpectedly powerful in the end. Recommended.

"The Father Provincial of Mare Imbrium" by E. Lily Yu ( Uncanny Magazine, 2023). Appropriately Jesuitical, charming in its details of daily life in a scientific monastery on the moon, with a satisfying, uplifting ending. Recommended.
