2022 Hugo Award: Best Novelette
I had some trouble ranking these, especially the top two or three...
- Unseelie Brothers, Ltd., Fran Wilde. Tailors who make show-stopping gowns, if you can bear the cost...
- Bots of the Lost Ark, Suzanne Palmer. Really pleased to have another "bots" story, this was delightful.
- Colors of the Immortal Palette, Caroline M. Yoachim. Art, immortality, colour, coping with change. I enjoyed the construction of this.
- That Story Isn’t the Story, John Wiswell. A creepy horror about the trauma of escaping abusive relationships
- L’Esprit de L’Escalier, Catherynne M. Valente. What if Orpheus hadn't looked back, but the result still wasn't a happy ever after? This is nicely done, but grim.
- O2 Arena, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki. I get what the author is angry about, but I still didn't like this, and I'm not sure it's that well put together either.
