She Shines Like a Moon
by Pear Nuallak
It's cold in London but you glow with warmth. You travel limbless and limned from your core, throat crossed with black silk just as it was in your first days. Yes, you were naked then, washed clean in monsoons, dried by storm winds. When was the last time your sly hunt was wreathed in rice flowe...

New Books in Science FictionNicky Drayden, “The Prey of Gods” (Harper Voyager, 2017)The Prey of the Gods, published by Harper Voyager on June 13th, is Nicky Drayden‘s debut novel, though she’s published many short stories.
