The Councillor's Visit - Goddard: What a wonderfully awkward story, haha.
Yard Dog - Thompson: That was a good one. Jazz and otherworldly beings.
Dark Shells - Whitely: Good but depressing. Nice structure to it.
Coruvorn - Oliver: I both liked and was annoyed by this story. Upper-class British wankers bug me.
Godziliad - Roberts: Retelling the Godzilla movie but in epic poem format. Awesome.

The Farm at the World's End - McClory: A very short story, but full of emotion.
The Prevaricator - Hughes: Amusing Vancian pastiche.
