Locus Magazine, in its February issue, just published their recommended reading list and year-end summations.

Here are Locus‘s picks for the Recommended Reading list from Lightspeed & Fantasy:

• All That Touches the Air by An Owomoyela (Lightspeed 4/11)
• The Immortality Game by Cat Rambo (Fantasy 6/11)
• Woman Leaves Room by Robert Reed (Lightspeed 3/11)
• Red Dawn: A Chow Mein Western by Lavie Tidhar (Fantasy 11/11)
• The Sandal-Bride by Genevieve Valentine (Fantasy 3/11)

You can see the rest of the recommended reading list over on Locus Online.

In his year-end summation, Gardner Dozois said the following about Lightspeed and Fantasy:

The online magazine Lightspeed … published worthwhile stuff by Robert Reed, David Farland, Vylar Kaftan, An Owomoyela, and Genevieve Valentine. The online magazine Fantasy … recently taken over by Lightspeed editor John Joseph Adams, had a strong year, publishing good fiction by Lavie Tidhar, James Alan Gardner, Sarah Monette, Cat Rambo, Tim Pratt, Kat Howard, Jeremiah Tolbert, Genevieve Valentine, and others.

My only other work to come out in 2011 was my anthology Brave New Worlds, about which Dozois said: “Brave New Worlds, edited by John Joseph Adams, was a good reprint collection of dystopian SF.”
