Michael Frasca's review of Asimov's Science Fiction, May/June 2023

4/5: Asimov’s Science Fiction May/June 2023 Here are my favorites: - Lemuria 7 Is Missing by Allen M. Steele Once in a while, you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right - Hunter / Garcia A lunar tourist excursion inexplicably disappears. Accident? Aliens? Or….murder? You decide. - Games Without Frontiers by Andy Dudak Games within games within games, all wrapped around a generous meta- chunk of 1983. Is it real or is it Memorex? Story comes with its own ’80’s playlist: "Games Without Frontiers" - Peter Gabriel "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" - Tears for Fe...

Michael Frasca's review of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, March/April 2023

5/5: Another a good issue. Here are my favorite stories: - The Weremouse of Millicent Bradley Middle School by Peter S. Beagle This story spoke to me from aspects—my own and my kids-- about our experiences in dealing with toxic grade school teachers. Reading it was very cathartic for me. - Mr. Catt by Eleanor Arnason Mr. Catt’s sudden urge to obtain a dragon for his comfortable estate leads to trouble, but not in manner you might suspect. His cool, urbane manner and many friends help him pull through this spot of bother. Pairs well with the writings of Kenneth Grahame. - The Sweet in the Empt...

Michael Frasca's review of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, January/February 2023

5/5: Lots of short stories. Once again, a stellar issue. - Best, Last, Only by Robert Reed A Great Ship story with Quee Lee, Perri ,and Keen, a misfit alpha-alpha predator. One is the loneliness number. - A Creation of Birds by Tegan Moore A broken person can suck you into the soup tureen of their never ending need, even after your death. The question is not where you are, but what will you do next. - Floating on the Stream that Brings from the Fount by Prashanth Srivatsa Narrative is a defining characteristic of human existence. What if it also drives the engine of empire and the stories st...

Michael Frasca's review of Asimov's Science Fiction, March/April 2023

5/5: A very strong issue with a bit of a theme. Here are my favorites: - Gravesend, or, Everyday Life in the Anthropocene by Paul McAuley A psychically wounded veteran starts her long journey of healing on the marshes of Gravesend in Kent. A fascinating story more of time and place—a world coping with end-stage climate change—rather than plot. A companion piece to “The Queen of Rhode Island” also in this issue, albeit from a much different attitude and perspective. - The Nameless Dead by Kristine Kathryn Rusch Faster than light travel generates a lot of business for a private investigator who ...
