So far only read/listened to:

-- Welcome to the Medical Clinic at the Interplanetary Relay Station | Hours Since the Last Patient Death: 0 (2016) short story by Caroline M. Yoachim, narrated by Stefan Rudnicki - 3*

I own the full magazine but only read two of the stories and likely all I will read.

Seanan McGuire’s October Daye novels are by far my favorite UF series, both for the fascinating juxtaposition of the fae realms with our own world and for the amazing characters moving through both. And if protagonist October is a joy to read as her journey continues through the series, there are some other characters I’ve come to deeply care about, the foremost being Tybalt, King of Cats.
