Shout out to my friend @theinternationalacestation for giving me the topic and helping me put this list together. She’s the best, and you can read her fic under the name yellow_caballero on AO3.
Of the above, the flash fiction, short stories, and one of the novellas are all available free and legally online. And they’re just the tip of the iceberg! There’s so much great short science fiction and fantasy short fiction out there. If you enjoy these stories and want to read more, take a look at some of the magazines’ other stories. Special shout out to Uncanny Magazine’s recent Disabled People Destroy Fantasy issue. Also, RIP to Apex Magazine, I miss you a ton.
Most of the short stories didn’t have illustrations, so I made do with clip art and stock photos of varying degree of relevance.
Below the cut, I’m linking to the short stories in question. For the books, I’m linking to the Goodreads pages. I hope you guys find some stories you love!
