Short stories I’ve liked: earliest 2017

[mrissa]

As always, I make no pretense of having read everything–even everything in the magazines I’ve read some of–so this is not some kind of “top ranking” or “better than,” it’s just stuff I’ve read and liked. Feel free to recommend things you’ve read and liked in the comments.

The Compassion of the Pheasant Lord, Leena Likitalo (Lackington’s)

Her Hands Like Ice, KT Bryski (Bracken)

Prosthetic Daughter, Nin Harris (Clarkesworld)

Thanks for doing these. They always point me at some good stuff I would otherwise have missed.

Since that is exactly why I do them, I'm always glad to hear they've succeeded.

I loved "Prosthetic Daughter" so much.
