A couple of stories from Interzone have made their way onto the BSFA Awards shortlist, and so TTA Press have set them free in PDF format so everyone can get a taste:
- Greg Egan‘s “Crystal Nights“
- Paul McAuley‘s “Little Lost Robot“
Escape Velocity celebrates similar nomination by going one further: you can download their first three issues in PDF format for a limited time.

- “Downtown” by DJ Barber
- “The Man with Inverse Gravity” by Christian M Heidicker
- “Digging Holes” by James Hartley

And that’s it for another week – don’t forget you can let us know about stuff that you or someone you know has published; if it’s free, science fictional and on the internet, we want to know about it!
In the meantime, have a great weekend, ladies and gents.
