Destes, alguns já foram resenhados por mim aqui ou no The Fix. A maioria dos contos, noveletas e novelas já está disponível na Web (as revistas estão disponibilizando os contos finalistas gratuitamente, uma tendência ótima que se confirmou de vez este ano e que eu aplaudo). Periodicamente, continuarei postando resenhas dessas histórias aqui - e também em outro blog, que está pintando nos próximos dias, aguardem.
Obrigado ao Larry, do OF Blog of the Fallen, pela lista. / Thanks to Larry, of OF Blog of the Fallen, by the list.
