Just read When Your Child Strays From God due to the glowing recommendations. Having spent my teenage years as a PK and being a parent now, there was a lot I empathized within the story. This is definitely a high water mark for the years short fiction. Thanks for recommending it.

Not published over summer but I just read it this month and can’t stop thinking about it:

Awesome! I just read Bears Discover Fire by Terry Bisson. I read it on the Locus Awards anthology but it’s available online through Lightspeed. http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/bears-…

Wait there’s a column dedicated to short fiction on here? Awesome! I need to use io9 more again haha.
