Reflection's Edge - May 2007 issue
Reflection's Edge is up!
http://www.reflectionsedge.com/index.ht
We are delighted to have some our favorite authors returning in this issue. Our one new author is our feature, "The Naming at the Pool," an elegant piece by Aliette de Bodard. In it, a young potter by the name of Rhana finds a man in the forest, nameless and lost, and tries to help him. But in naming him in such a magical place, she accidentally gives him far too much - the history of a long-lost king attached to the name, resulting in a craving for power (and more).
Next, Hanne Blank returns in the fantastic "Copenhagen or Anywhere," a dark vision of a woman-turned-mermaid who has become a killer to protect her new people. In "Assistant," Mari Ness returns with a dark comedy in, of all things, a resumé for assistant world-destroying - because whether it is destroying worlds, altering timelines, or making the perfect cup of coffee, Sidney Smith wants to be there for it. And finally, JoSelle Vanderhooft joins us again in "The Desert in the North," a companion piece to a previous RE story, "The Tale of the Scorpion Prince." This time, the desert is buried under ice - and deliriously happy to watch her victims crumble and die on her.
On the information side, our resources have expanded again, with more information on writers' communities and a whole new research section with links to sites regarding psychotropics, prescription drugs, and even street slang, in addition to having cleaned our resources of dead sites and broken links.
We hope you enjoy the issue, and don't miss us next month!
