Mondy's Recommended Reading - May 2012

Here we go with my May recommendations.  No commentary, I’m a bit short on time, but I am curious to know what you thought of these stories and what else you liked in May.

For May I read from the following markets:

• Apex – May
  
• Clarkesworld – May
  
• Lightspeed – May
  
• Aurealis 50
  
• Strange Horizons (the May stories)
  
• Tor.com (the May stories)
  
• Asimov’s – July
• Black Static – April / May
  
• Giganotosaurus.com (the May story)
  
• Cracklescape by Margo Lanagan (Twelfth Planet)

Lightspeed – June

Dale Bailey, The Children of Hamelin

Apex – June

Rachel Swirsky, Decomposition

Asimov’s – July

Megan Lindholm, Old Paint

Allen M Steele, Alive and Well, A Long Way From Anywhere

Strange Horizons

Nghi Vo, Tiger Stripes

Cracklescape by Margo Lanagan.

The whole collection is great, but I really loved Bajazzle.  It’s a bug fuck sort of story in a good way.  (Actually, when is bug fuck not good).
