So, last week I made a post about how shitty it was that award worthy authors and works were shafted in the 2023 Hugo Awards for no apparent reason. You can read it by clicking here. Not long after I made that post, a bombshell in the story dropped. Emails were leaked which show that …

With the Hugo Nominees announced, I decided to dive right into the short stories. The finalists this year are a good batch, and are all free online.
