A rocking military sci-fi to kick off 2023’s short read recs.
A sentient AI mech taking a prisoner of war back through its own hostile lines. Long but with a zippy quest narrative, interesting layers of hostile terrain and a solid ending.

Merc Fenn Wolfmoor’s first collection “So You Want to Be. A Robot?” was one of my fave reads if this year. Each story was energetic, vibrant and full of characterful heart. This story of theirs about an unconventional saving of the world is a great example:

"From above, Xantiana resembled an ocean, low hills undulating like endless green waves. As the shuttle descended, thin veins of rivers became visible, black at first, then resolving into purple."
Brilliant, beautifully layered science fiction: "Patterns in Stone and Stars" by @mvmelcer at GigaNotoSaurus -- https://giganotosaurus.org/2022/12/01/patterns-in-stone-and-stars/ #sff #sffshorts @shortsff

Bird site is burning to unforeseen depths and at unprecedented speeds but I’m still here sharing short read recs.
Today’s is a sweet example of my favourite type of modern fantasy. Witches in coffee shops. Love potions and the value of respectful differences and collaboration.

Bit late with the short read rec today but it’s a brilliant flash about intergenerational hopes you can still read before bedtime.

Short read rec of the day!
I’m on a real zombie kick at the moment. Today’s is a quiet unsettling read that develops to something properly upsetting. Please heed the CWs and keep yourself safe, but I am astounded at writers’ abilities to evoke emotions as strong as these in under 3000 words.
Short read rec of the day!
Back on it after my big book recommendation thread yesterday. A gorgeous sci-fi story by Arkady Martine reprinted in The Deadlands about individual vs empire or societal/cultural death. The Emperor is dead; long live the Emperor.
