psocopteraSecond half of Clarkesworld had a good novelette and my three favorite short stories so far:
The Visible Frontier, Grace Seybold. A young man on a trading voyage. The slow reveal of the situation is excellent.
Shattered Sidewalks of the Human Heart, Sam J. Miller. So, if you remember "Things with Beards", which took The Thing and made it about AIDS and it was amazing, this is a similar concept, only a different pair of things.
Entangled, Beston Barnett. An alien citizen of Earth, looking for connection.
The Yorkshire Mammoth, Harry Turtledove. A James Herriot story from a slightly different world.
Your Face, Rachel Swirsky. An interesting counterpoint to the other Swirsky story I recommended earlier.
Dave's Head, Suzanne Palmer. There's a lot going on here! Recommended. NOVELETTE.
Such Thoughts Are Unproductive, Rebecca Campbell. Life in the surveillance state, the disinformation state.
Annotated Setlist of the Mikaela Cole Jazz Quintet, Catherine George. Generation ship story that managed to hit a couple of beats I don't think I'd seen before.
