This was a really fun job. The Drabblecast is a neat podcast that I’ve read a story for once before but this one really struck me. It’s by Will McIntosh who is a highly decorated science fiction writer. The Fantasy Jumper was in 2009′s Year’s Best of Science Fiction and Fantasy and Will has a good shot at the Hugo Award this year. Here’s a cool review about it:
‘The Fantasy Jumper’ by Will McIntosh is a first BS appearance by a regular contributor to sister-magazine Interzone,and it’s a fine story, perhaps the best in the magazine; set at a future World’s Fair, which includes amongst its attractions a booth that will generate temporary people designed to replay selected memories. Breaking from it’s expected narrative arc, it’s short and to the point, and perhaps worth the price of the magazine on it’s own.
