The Week in Review • 7 April 2024


Welcome to The Week in Review, a weekly round-up for those too busy to follow Stupefying Stories on a daily basis. With SHOWCASE now closed to new submissions, and (we hope) all submissions that were received during this reading period either rejected or else accepted and somewhere in the contract-to-publication pipeline, things are beginning to calm down around here.

Note: If you’ve submitted a story to us recently and have not received a reply, please send a follow-up query. Submissions and email messages do get lost, from time to time.

Meanwhile, on the SHOWCASE front, this week we published:
