The Far Reaches Reviews: “The Long Game” by Ann Leckie
“The Long Game” is actually a story about very short periods of time and the exploitation of a species. Its title refers to one idea in the story, among a few different, some related, some not, concepts—and the greatest strength of this one, like “How It Unfolds,” is how interesting those ideas are.
Friday Fiction: Spaceship Maintenance Professional

We return to our supernatural tale, dear reader.
Now that our main character has finished talking to a ghost about the ghost’s troubles, there’s more to do.
The Far Reaches Reviews: “Falling Bodies” by Rebecca Roanhorse
“Falling Bodies” is an outlier, so far, in this collection. The concept of time does play a part in the story, but no more than any story that deals with someone’s past. There are plenty of sci-fi elements, but it takes place on a normal time scale.

An extra-dimensional species simply called “Needles” has just arrived—and things have gotten bad.

Friday Fiction: I See a Librarian At Night
Spookiness abounds, dear reader.
Something is in our reality that wasn’t there before.
The Far Reaches Reviews: “How It Unfolds” by James S. A. Corey
“How Things Unfold” is beautiful, devastating, heartbreaking, hopeful, fascinating, imaginative, and yet so much more. It’s a short story that captures a human message while delivering a sci-fi concept that feels original. And all of that in such a short page count.
Friday Fiction: Talking to A Ghost – Part 3
We return, once again, to a conversation with a ghost.
This time, we find out why the ghost was running from our main character in the first place. And his story is about something that not only could change their city forever, but their whole world.
Friday Fiction: A Different Sort of Life
