John Grant's Ghost Story
is the standout here — very good indeed.
Karl Bunker's Ashes
is a smart take on the Singularity, and I'd love to
have the illustration for it (by Jim Burns) as a poster.
Trace Welser's A Doll Is Not A Dumpling
has some nice ideas, although
I wish it hadn't followed the general trend of ending with the death of its
protagonist (at least Gareth L. Powell's This Is How You Die
is upfront
about it).
