April 2006 issue of this SF magazine, tending somewhat more toward the macabre than the last couple of issues. "The Furthest Schorr" (Paul Di Fillipo) had a neat conceit -- a collection of 32 shorts based on paintings -- but didn't really take itself seriously enough. "Among The Living" (Karen D. Fishler) was excellent, as was the final part to "After The Party" (Richard Calder). "Ten With A Flag" (Joseph Paul Haines) was very Philip K. Dick, and probably the strongest story here. I didn't care much for "The American Dead" (Jay Lake), and thought "Wane" (Elizabeth Bear) significantly weaker than the previous mystery in the series; perhaps I would have enjoyed it more as part of a book with a bit more background. Once again, the next issue has arrived just as I've got around to reading this one...
