Catching up on 2024 short fic and had to start with @liu_angela in Uncanny. Another Girl Under the Iron Bell is a darkly romantic novelette about a demon forced to be an assassin. Lovely, sharp, atmospheric prose as always from Angela.

Nebula Award nominations are open now until Feb 28th! I’d love if you considered my novelette, “Another Girl Under the Iron Bell” in @UncannyMagazine, so here’s a thread of all the little inspirations behind it (warning: spoilers ahead!): uncannymagazine.com/article/…

Another Girl Under the Iron Bell - Uncanny Magazine

Content note: violence, sexual abuse, suicide, cannibalism   There is no limit to the number of curses in the world. For each one the monks try to exorcise, ten more take its place. We are not here...

This is such a fascinating story of conflicting viewpoints, of faith and science. Of what is know and well-studied, and what remains unknown still, letting a hope for something bigger slip into the hearts of humanity. by @lchanwrites in @clarkesworld clarkesworldmagazine.com/cha…

BLADERUNNER X TLOU + rust magic The problem with promising your best friend you'll kill them is someday you'll have to make good on that. This gets extra hard when your best friend is also leading the robot rebellion against the war-torn remnants of humanity. #PitDark #A #F #SF

#PitDark #A #F #SF Fray's opinion on bots? "Sentience is just electricity buried in wet meat." Drift's? "What you become outweighs the measure of humanity your creators cursed you with." Dim just wants kind death for her best friend, but between these two, there's no guarantee.
