So I guess it’s about time for me to report the December acquisitions. This month, we have a new story from Carrie Richerson, about a very unusual construction project with a very demanding client; two new “Billy” stories from Terry Bisson (and the promise of more); a ghost story from Albert E. Cowdrey; a new Kedrigern yarn from John Morressy; a complex and adventuresome tale from R. Garcia y Robertson; and a new story from former slush survivor Jeremy Minton, which is just as good as, if not better than, the story he broke into print with.
