Browsing the Anthology Builder blog tonight, I came across these stories that I'd like to read:
Sue Burke’s
Spiders:
A man and his son explore the xenobiology of their home planet, and nothing is what it appears to be.
Tim McDaniel’s
Teacher’s Lounge:
Life is tough for an English as a Second Language teacher, particularly when half your students are aliens who appear to be plotting a hostile takeover.
I found
Alvaro’s New Life by Sue Burke particularly touching, and it’s hard to get me to say that about an apocalypse story. I particularly like the way Burke takes a generally accepted truth - Smoking can be hazardous to your health - as the basis for a speculative conceit.
Here's the Anthology Builder blog link to look for yourself:
