"Verum" by Storm Humbert is on my list of the Best Short SFF of August 2019: https://1000yearplan.com/2019/09/01/t...
Favourite stories:-- The Princess of Solomon Pond Mall (Timothy Mundie)-- Heaven Looks Down on the Tomb (Gregor Hartmann)
I found this issue interesting because it contained two similar stories, one of which I loved, while the other left me cold. Overall the issue had some fun fiction and some engaging articles, and I was happy to have read it.
In her guest Editorial Kristi deMeester tells how her story in this issue was generated. Andy Hedgecock considers cities in Future Interrupted. In Aliya Whiteley’s Climbing Stories she ponders the mysterious processes that go into constructing - and choosing from - a tbr pile. In Book Zone Andy Hedgecock lauds Nina Allan’s The Dollmaker as literary fantasy at its most ambitious, erudite and entertaining and also interviews the author, I compare Chris Beckett’s Beneath the World a Sea to the best...
Atrazine frogs and iron deposits in rivers … this is a tantalising pre-Raphaelite visionary fairy story, a Verum journey, too, plus a steeped post-death story by Satifka’s weasel virus, frog to Prince, a Proustian memory where memories are involuntary muscle twitches, Marienbad hotel to cheap take-away restaurant, transgender another journey of self’s orientation.

But when a girl comes along and crafts even better stories than him and starts taking away his customers, his feels he has no choice but to steal her...
Another reliably solid edition.Stand out storeis for me are: Heaven Looks Down on the Tomb Can You Show Me The Way to Apocalypse
FiGen: A Love Story by Kristi DeMeester stole this issue for me.
Noch so ein Weltcon-Mitbringsel aus Dublin.Ein schön gestaltetes Magazin, das mir optisch deutlich besser gefällt als "Asimov's" oder "Analog", bei denen ich immer den Eindruck habe, dass sie aus der Altpapiertonne kommen.

Hinzu kommen noch einige wenige, dafür aber längere Buch- und Filmbesprechungen.
