Short Fiction Recs and a Link
Jul. 30th, 2015 10:10 amIt’s time for more short fiction recs. Right now my to read folder is lot emptier than it was this time last month, but I expect it to expand again when August zines come out.
Before I get to my recs I wanted to mention that over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ladybusiness there is round up of favorite short fiction form the first quarter for 2015. Worth checking out for recs. Also at the end of the post their link to their second quarter survey if you have stories you loved and want to share.
Anyways here some stories I read recently that I think are worth checking out:
”Sigrid Under the Mountain” by Charlotte AshleyNorse mythology(ish) story focusing on the lives of people who stay home while the heroes are of adventuring.
“It Brought Us All Together” by Marissa Lingen A story about dealing with grief and high school in plague ridden world. As always Lingen nails the emotional details. That makes it sound like a depressing story but it is really not.
“A Silly Love Story” by Nicole Cipri What it says on the tin. Sweet and heartwarming.
“Snakes” by Yoon Ha Lee A kinda creepy story featuring sisterhood and space.
Older story rec: "Mountain Ways" by Ursula K. Le Guin One of my favorite bits of Le Guin's Hanish universe is the planet O, which has complex four person marriages. This story is set there and explores what happens to people with different desires.
