Quick Sips - Strange Horizons 11/30/2020

I’m not one hundred percent sure what to do with this issue of Strange Horizons, which originally had a publication date of November 30 on it and now has December 1 (and it actually has both now, depending on where you look). Because I started it when it was November 30, I’m just going to keep that for now and decide later what to do about. It’s not the important thing about the issue, anyway. The important thing is that this is an ENORMOUS issue of Mexican SFF, featuring seven(!!!) short stories and three poems! The works are amazing and amazingly diverse, from intimate sci fi about algae, loss, and life on distant worlds to a person who just really wants to fuck a semi-gelatinous alien, the works are at turns complex, charming, and difficult. They are also always rewarding, and before I get to busy gushing about them here, let’s get to where I can gush about them in the individual reviews!
