One of my favorite authors, Karin Lowachee, has a short story out in this month’s Lightspeed Magazine called A GOOD HOME that is an absolute must read.
I just one-clicked the issue on Amazon after reading the story. It’s worth the $3.99 just for her story alone. I can’t wait to finish the rest of the issue.
Read A GOOD HOME here, and when you’re finished, one-click the heck out of it.
Here’s more about the issue. Enjoy!
Lightspeed Magazine, June 2016 (Issue 73)
This month, we’ve made another special double issue for you: People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction!

Hudson (“Digital Medicine”), Sofia Samatar (“The Red Thread”), Nick T. Chan (“Salto Mortal”), Dayo Ntwari (“Omoshango”), Terence Taylor (“Wilson’s Singularity”), and Gabriela Santiago (“As Long As It Takes to Make the World”). We also have a special flash fiction section curated by the talented Berit Ellingsen. We have flash from S.B.
