A pretty good issue, with my favorites being “How to raise a Kraken in your bathtub”, a story about an imperialist who learns the hard way about trying to control nature, “waystation city”, a story about people in a new city trying to get to their own time again, and “Bad Doors”, a story about someone who refuses to engage in a horror story.
