A Child's Christmas in Florida - Spencer: Reread. This is a delightful story, but it's also it's completely non-SF/F.
Whispers - McHugh & Kisor: A strange disease starts to change in an unexpected way over time.
Wall, Stone, Craft - Williams: I think I was hoping for something a bit more Shelley-ish and less centered on Byron. It's a unique alternate history premise, I just wasn't sure what WJW meant to do with it.
