I am a fan of the short story and Albedo One always has a super collection of tales to get stuck into along with reviews and author interviews. Issue 45, edited by Robert Neilson, is no exception. Starting with the stunning, ugly-but-cute creature on the cover from artist Ken Barthelmey (whose designs can be seen in The Maze Runner) down to the last Review, I am impressed. Issue 45 has the following fiction content:
"The Woman Who Could Choose the Stars" T.D. Edge
"Landscapes of the Martian Heart" Stephen Gaskell
"King Rook" Martin McGrath
"The Pageant" Kelly Rede
"Root and Branch" Jacey Bedford
"The Shaping Man" David Conyers
"The Stag" Luigi Musolino
Of these I loved the evocative "King Rook" set in N. Ireland in the 1970s, "The Pageant" which was weird and creepy and kept me guessing the ending and throwing me off the scent only to take me right back where I thought. Finally, "The Stag" (translated from Italian and superbly so) is a chilling, emotional horror.
There are interviews with two Peters, Watts and Clines, which were both entertaining and enlightening as well as a plethora of informative book reviews.

A good mix of stories in here, some leaning more towards horror while others have a bit more of a science fiction slant.
