My favorite story in this issue was "That Which Smells Bad" by Aline-Mwezi Niyonsenga. It was amazing, and I'd love to read more about Gladys and Jean-Claude and their grandmother's ghost-busting business! I could really relate to Gladys's issues with feeling like you have to prove that you belong and fit into your own culture. The storyline and the feel of the story also kind of reminded me of "A Dead Djinn in Cairo" by P. Djèlí Clark, another one of my favorite stories!
