* Description: "Ghosting" by Kelly Lagor (2023) is an uncomfortable science fiction novella involving reinvention, memory, betrayal, drugs, sex, and a drier, hotter Southern California; a novella-length gothic cyberpunk story about forgetting.

"GigaNotoSaurus provides another wonderful read with November’s “Ghosting” by Kelly Lagor, which follows Lydia as she attempts to reboot her life, and not for the first time. Thanks to a neural implant, Lydia can alter her own memories, erasing unpleasant ones in an attempt to reinvent herself every time things get too bad. And with her recurring issues around intimacy and self-sabotage, that happens more often than she’d like… and more often than she remembers. When a mysterious person starts contacting her, though, claiming to be the ghost of someone she’s wronged, it accelerates her self-destructive cycle and leads her into a confrontation with all she’s been avoiding. The story is at turns sensual and chaotic, messy and clever, weaving a mystery around what’s happening to Lydia even as she begins to real­ize that there are things she can’t just edit out of her brain – there are things she has to face and remember despite how unpleasant, painful, or shameful they might be. Only through that work can she come to terms with who she is, and who she can be. Lagor does brilliant work with Lydia and the cast of characters around her, keeping readers guessing while still eager for the next twist in this rollercoaster of a story." - Charles Payseur, Locus (cited from https://locusmag.com/2024/02/charles-...)
