Interzone #278, Nov-Dec 2018
Bit behind with this issue - she understates.
There's an excellent editorial by Tim Lees about how we need true voices in fiction. The first story in the issue, Soldier's Things is also by Tim Lees. The landmarks were familiar, but I'd no sense of geography, how one place fitted with another. A soldier returned from a war that he may or may not have experienced, returned to a world that isn't quite what he remembers. A clever look at how we cannot always trust our own memories.
Xenophobia is the undercurrent in Doomed Youth by Fiona Moore, in a story about a giant ant invasion. "Oh her again. ANT-THEM! for Doomed Youth). As it turns out, the ants aren't really the threat here.
A car's memory is transplanted into a human body in Eliza Ruslander's decidedly weird Heart of an Awl.
Now I need to check on the gammon, which is slowly boiling on the stove and is probably the size of a pea by now.
