At Strange Horizons.

  3. Rachel Swirsky's "Eros, Philia, Agape"; download; tor.com, March 2009: "one of the best, and most moving, stories I read in 2009."

    Not read.
  4. Daniel Abraham's "The Curandero and the Swede: A Tale from the 1001 American Nights"; F&SF, March 2009: "It consists of nested stories."

    Not read.
  5. [long novella] Paul Haines' "Wives"; download; Keith Stevenson (ed)'s X6; horror: Apparently about a world where men far outnumber women, & women get routinely treated & traded as sex slaves.

The link you've given to "Reasons to be Cheerful" is an illegal copy of the story, reproduced without my permission. I'd appreciate it if you'd remove the link. Thanks.
