Some short stories I have liked: early 2018

[mrissa]

I have by no means made an exhaustive attempt to keep up on short stories--in fact, quite the opposite, I have several wonderful magazines to catch up on. However, I got to the point of having quite a few stories I have liked, so I wanted to recommend them before the list got overwhelming. More poems than usual in here. Yay.

Thanks. I picked semi-randomly from this list last night, and enjoyed "A Witch's Guide to Escape."

Good batch
