Brodie is disturbed about the voices in his head, and we follow, with wry humour, his progression through the hands of a variety of specialists.
Interzone Number 198 May/June 2005
Chris Beckett. Piccadilly Circus. The eighteenth story of Beckett’s in Interzone, and one of the best that I have read. A near-future London is the setting, and for Clarissa Fell it is decaying, dark and lifeless. However, for the rest of the population, now uploaded into an Urban Consensual Field, the virtual London which they [...]
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, December 2009
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction finishes 2009 with an issue of their now standard bi-monthly size, but dated for a single month to enable a clean start in 2010 with a Jan/Feb issue. Alex Irvine. Dragon’s Teeth. Irvine’s ‘Wizard Six’ in F&SF June 2007 was a strong and dark fantasy story. In a [...]
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, August/September 2009
Sean McMullen. The Art of the Dragon. Dryly satirical tale in which a gigantic dragon appears and destroys the Eiffel Tower, then begins a world tour, destroying other notable buildings, statues and art collections.

The Magaize of Fantasy & Science Fiction, March 2007
Fred Chappell. Dance of Shadows. If you like your fantasy wordy and with loquacious characters using verbose and flowery language, and with a mystery to be solved, you’ll enjoy this story. Robert Reed. Magic With Thirteen-Year-Old Boys. Of late Reed has a production-line going of stories which feel like they’re drawn from a small piece [...]
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, February 2007
Alexander Jablokov. Brain Raid. Jablokov wrote some strong short stories in the 80s/90s, being one author who I watched out for in his appearances in Dozois’ Annual Collections. This is a strong story – providing an American counterpart to the Indian rogue AI stories that Ian McDonald has impressed with in the last couple of [...]
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, December 2006
Matthew Hughes. Bye the Rules. Another of Guth Bandar’s regular appearances in F&SF. M.Rickert. The Christmas Witch.
