A review by foomple
Apex Magazine Issue 121 by Jason Sizemore, Merc Fenn Wolfmoor, P.H. Lee, Charles Payseur, Malka Ann Older, Alix E. Harrow, Elana Gomel, Cassandra Khaw, Usman T. Malik, Fargo Tbakhi
4.0
I read four of the stories from this issue:
Root Rot by Fargo Tbakhi was an incredible story, heartrending and brutal. Themes include the impacts of occupation on the occupied and the way national/cultural losses and personal losses are nigh-impossible to separate. I look forward to reading more by this Palestinian writer. CW:alcoholism/addiction, suicidal ideation
I utterly, wholly loved Alix Harrow's Mr. Death.
I really liked Cassandra Khaw's Love, That Hungry Thing, even though I'm certain I didn't understand a substantial portion of it.
Gray Skies, Red Wings, Blue Lips, Black Heart by Merc Fenn Wolfmoor was intriguing, but I didn't get sucked into it as thoroughly, and I can't put my finger on why.
