IN OUR NEXT ISSUE, Sheila Finch ties up the whole long-running Lingster saga with a novella called "The Evening and the Morning." It's a tale of old mysteries and big sacrifices.

On a smaller scale, James Patrick Kelly brings us "Happy Ending 2.0" and we'll also have stories by Karl Bunker, Albert Cowdrey, Ken Liu, and several players to be named later. Subscribe now so you'll be sure to find out just who those players are—and more importantly, what stories they have to tell.
