ReplyDeleteAlex Brown includes Storm Blakley’s “Salt and Smoke” in the May round-up of must read spec fic at Tor.com, calling it “a refreshing queer twist to … the [ghost story] trope.”
ReplyDeleteKaren Burnham highly praises Lam Ning’s “avenging the sorrow” in Locus Magazine’s September short fiction reviews; she also has nice things to say about “A Prayer to St Jude” and “The Fox and the Snake.”
