A review by mary_soon_lee
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, May/June 2018 by Lisa Mason, Brian Trent, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Pip Coen, Amman Sabet, Albert E. Cowdrey, Garner Dozois, C.C. Finlay, Melanie West, Stephanie Feldman, Dare Segun Falowo, Matthew Hughes

This issue of F&SF contains eleven stories, ranging from far-future science fiction set on another planet, to contemporary horror, to secondary world fantasy. My favorite story is a toss-up between Amman Sabet's "Tender Loving Plastics," a sweet, sad science fiction tale of a fostered child, and Melanie West's disturbing and powerful fantasy tale about discrimination, "What You Pass For." I also particularly like Pip Coen's dark tale "Inquisitive," and Lisa Mason's "The Bicycle Whisperer."

The issue was weighed down by the deaths of Gardner Dozois, whose story "Unstoppable" appears here, and of Paul Doherty, whose last joint science column with Pat Murphy also appears here. Alas, alas, alas.
