Getaway by Nicole Kornher-Stace
Total average rating for three stories:"If You Want to Erase Us, You Must Be Thorough" by L. Tu. ****It's about genocide and colonialism, removal of identities and indoctrination. I really, really want to talk to the author on how they got the inspiration. I feel like I should know.Can be read here: https://uncannymagazine.com/article/i..."Georgie in the Sun" by Natalia Theodoridou **Vlad Tepes in space. Did not work for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- for Georgie in the Sun only.Eerie, blurry time-skip space/vampire story with tragic-romantic elements and a fixation on indecision and time. So clever and artsy.
I'm using this entry for Alix E. Harrow’s “The Sycamore and the Sybil”.I was unfamiliar, before reading this short story, of Daphne from Greek mythology. This story takes that tale as it's primary ingredient and throws in some "Little Red Riding Hood" with a bit of what I am starting to consider as Alix E. Harrow's signature twist: witches. Harrow also takes the opportunity to show off her prose here as well. While I enjoyed the narrative what really brought me in was the prose. It is what stand...
The Sycamore and the Sybil by Alix Harrow and If You Want to Erase Us, You Must Be Thorough by L. Tu were outstanding. So You Want to be a Honeypot was just so-so for me.

A free short story about a woman who turned herself into a tree to escape a man, and the freedom she finds. An interesting take on witches!
"It’s like each woman doing what she can until one day, somehow, it is enough."The Sycamore and the Sybil by Alix E. Harrow! ❤
I read "The Sycamore and The Sybil" by Alix E. Harrow.Seemingly an extension of The Once and Future Witches, this story examines the powerlessness of women, but what if they had the words to change things? It was such a cool concept, and I absolutely loved how the female characters in the story were able to change things to their benefit.The story can be read here: https://uncannymagazine.com/article/t...
I just read The Sybil and the Sycamore by Alix E. Harrow available here https://uncannymagazine.com/article/t...Very good, usual themes for her, a witch-feminist tale of a woman who turned into a tree to escape abuse but that does not end there, does it?Very very good writing, plenty of highlights for me. And I loved loved Minnie, the owl. But if there is a but, the big bad wolves are a bit two dimensional, too convenient, everything resolved very fast."(If you’re wondering why a woman would tra...
The Sycamore and the Sybil by Alix E. Harrow only.
Placeholder for "The Sycamore and the Sybil," by Alix E. Harrow. 3 stars.
It’s like each woman doing what she can until one day, somehow, it is enough.WELL, GOSH. I'm shook, to be quite honest. I have found a new author to adore. Alix E. Harrow's The Sycamore and the Sybil is utterly captivating. You can feel the sisterhood and solidarity running through every word and the prose is simply lush. Totally, totally recommend.
