short fiction - alive and well

[sergebroom]

I'm reading the July issue of Locus. I enjoyed Dozois's review of short fiction as usual, but I was amused by his description of Paul Cornell's "One of Our Bastards Is Missing" as a Ruritanian romance written by Charles Stross. Later he describes Paul Di Filippo's "Providence" as "...a grimmer Wall-E, or what Thomas the Tank Engine might be like if he had a flamethrower and wanted to score drugs..."

Wall-E as Killdozer?
I'd go see that.
