Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Terrific story just out from friend and ex-Aurora Street critique group member @carolscheina.bsky.social.

Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>In Ída Hennessy's "A Slightly Different Sunrise from Mercury, Nevada," Annie works as a "Canary" at the Nevada nuclear test site, at a time portal bringing tourists back to 1952.

Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>More reading of Codexian 2024 output: Andrea Goyan's "All My Mother Is" is a touching portrait of a mother-daughter relationship in the face of dementia.

Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>More Codex 2024 reading, this one from my friend and critique partner Sam Pisciotta. In "House of the Hidden Moon," two worlds bump up against each other. In one, an alcoholic mother has died and left the house to her son. In a second, a ghost and fairies stand in for a family that might have been. It's sad and disturbing, yet beautiful.

Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>In "When the Cattle Gun Touches Her Forehead" by Ben Serna-Grey, trillionaires get the Nobel while a father slaves on a tower to reduce atmospheric CO2 and his wife submits to in utero genetic engineering to make the baby eat plastic. Satiric treatment of eco-fascism.

Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Continuing with Codex 2024 short fiction catch-up, Angela Liu's "Before We Were Born" uses a near-future, cyberpunky conceit to examine tensions within a modern family. The twist at the end was terrific. Strongly recommended.</p><p><a href="https://logicmag.io/issue-21-medicine-and-the-body/before-we-were-born/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">logicmag.io/issue-21-medicine-</span><span class="invisible">and-the-body/before-we-were-born/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingFiction</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingScienceFiction</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingSciFi</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cyberpunk</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AuthorsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorsOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStory</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a></p>
Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Cécile Cristofari's braided narrative, "Down the Waterfall," uses a time travel conceit to allow her protagonist to examine her life, live out fantasies, and find what is important to her.

Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Jennifer Hudak's "The Witch Trap" uses braided narrative to give the reader an academic history of witchcraft as well as narratives skipping through time and characters. It works well. I was completely swept up and captivated by it. Strongly recommended. </p><p><a href="https://smallbeerpress.com/lcrw/2024/09/01/lady-churchills-rosebud-wristlet-no-48/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">smallbeerpress.com/lcrw/2024/0</span><span class="invisible">9/01/lady-churchills-rosebud-wristlet-no-48/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Witches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Witches</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingFiction</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingFantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingFantasy</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fantasy</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStory</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AuthorsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorsOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a></p>
Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Andrew Sayre's "You Look a Lot Like Aton Fuller" is a perspective I haven't seen: an adult clone, grown for spare parts for a rich man, freed when that practice became untenable, musing about this man upon his death. Definitely thought-provoking. Highly recommended. </p><p><a href="https://aurealis.com.au/store/aurealis-174/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aurealis.com.au/store/aurealis</span><span class="invisible">-174/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingFiction</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingSciFi</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReadingScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReadingScienceFiction</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AuthorsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorsOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writers</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/OrganDonation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OrganDonation</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStory</span></a></p>
Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Renan Bernardo's "A Theory of Missing Affections" has an Ursula Le Guin vibe.
