One of the things I’m going to start doing more of on this blog is recommend books and stories that I’ve enjoyed. I recently decided to start listening to all of the major SF&F short story podcasts again, and while they’re all batshit crazy woke, a good story will occasionally slip through. So I suppose… Continue reading Great story! “A Thousand Echoes in One Voice” by Debora L. Davitt (Podcastle 778)
