Variety SF: Clarkesworld magazine: Story list ranked on quality, plus story summaries & ratings

All "Clarkesworld" stories (2 per month, except December which has 3) till December 2007, ranked on quality (best first). My rating is in brackets. Download link is provided here as well as in my review article (if I have posted one - linked to story title). I also indicate if the story is sf or not, & provide a very short summary.

Unread stories are at the end, ordered by most recently published first.

October 2007 : Lisa Mantchev's "A Dance Across Embers" (A); download: A freedom fighter is born. Story is told as a fantasy.

September 2007 : M P Ericson's "Lost Soul" (B); download: Not sf. A man is used to abusing his family, & realizes his folly too late, after his wife's death. Set in early twentieth century rural India. Well written, but rather late to the game. The subject has been done to death both by era greats like Premchand & Tagore, as well as thousands of lesser writers.

December 2007 : Samantha Henderson's "Curse" (C); download: Unoriginal but readable fairy tale.
August 2007 : Darja Malcolm-Clarke's "The Beacon" (C); download: Bio-luminescent sentient beacon locates an airport visually for approaching airships.
May 2007 : Jetse De Vries' "Qubit Conflicts" (C); download: Eons from now, long after humans & planets are gone, our solar system is occupied by a bored AI!
September 2007 : Caitlín R Kiernan's "Little Conversations" aka "Salammbô Redux" (C); download: Not sf. A career woman loses interest in her career & good things in life after she sees the abandoned & mutilated dead body of a girl raped & murdered. About 5 times longer story than necessary. Note: Some days after publication, this story was swapped with Kiernan's "An Ape's Wife" in this issue of magazine for some copyright conflicts; I haven't read the replaced story, nor intend to.
June 2007 : David Charlton's "Moon Over Yodok" (C); download: Not sf. On civil rights abuses in one of the Koreas.
November 2007 : Rebecca Ore's "Acid and Stoned Reindeer" (C); download: Cannot make out the head or tail of this story. A very long lived woman keeps describing her life during stone age a couple of tens of thousands of years ago, & then in the present time! And her descriptions are mostly about sex & narcotics.
August 2007 : Ekaterina Sedia's "The Taste of Wheat" (C), download: Not sf. Children's fairy tale. A girl keeps going to sleep at odd hours, & dreaming of conversations with Gautam Buddha (founder of Buddhism). Towards end, we don't quite now if she is dreaming, or in a magical world!
July 2007 : Darren Speegle's "Transtexting Pose" (C); download: Cannot make out the head or tail of it. Probably something to do with virtual reality. Or magic. Or something!
