I only read Magnificent Maurice, or the Flowers of Immortality by Rati Mehrotra which was a charming tale of the world-tree, a witch, and a passel of delightful cats. All ages

As with any collection of short stories, there is a mix of style here. Several of the stories were exactly to my taste, though others weren't quite up my alley. However, overall I really enjoyed the stories in this magazine.
“Schrödinger’s Catastrophe” by Gene Doucette was the reason I picked up this issue, and it's my favorite of the lot. “Magnificent Maurice, or the Flowers of Immortality” by Rati Mehrotra and “Seven Ways to Fall in Love with an Astronaut” by Dominica Phetteplace are the other two that I enjoyed the most.
