This month I bring you an eccentric mix of short speculative fiction stories. Necromancy and ghosts, trauma and chronic pain, power and identity, sentient fruits and killer security units. Come for the weird, stay for the even weirder.
After necromancers discover how to resurrect life, the city of Raspa has to deal with an influx of the undead. Some are corpses as fresh as the moment of their deaths while others are no more than rattling bones. Raspa creates a new district, the 74th, and places a recent college graduate in charge. Wen-yi Lee takes a cool premise and infuses it with a clever protagonist and a wry sense of humor.
