Walking on the Moon

I used to be more diligent about checking in with these sorts of collections of short writing in genre, but I got away from it. I hopped on this collection edited by Nnedi Okorafor and quite enjoyed it.

Short story collections are by nature a mixed bag, and that’s what I signed up for when I borrowed this. For me there were no bad stories in here – which isn’t always true. There were two or three standouts. And the writers are playing with genre tropes and representation as well as telling very straight-ahead genre fiction well. Worth a look for a quick way to survey current SF. I’ll probably grab another one of these.

Recommended.
