2022 Hugo Award: Best Short Story

[emperor]

Time to vote for the short stories...

1. Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather, Sarah Pinsker. A fun, creepy story, excellent use of unusual form.
2. Mr. Death, Alix E. Harrow. A nicely told tale, good twist, plenty of heart without getting mushy.
3. Unknown Number, Blue Neustifter. I read this when it appeared on twitter, and it obviously spoke to a number of people; nicely executed.
4. Proof by Induction, José Pablo Iriarte. There's a lot going on in this, but somehow it didn't quite land for me.
5. Tangles, Seanan McGuire. A lot less bleak than much of what I've read by McGuire, but I think I wasn't invested enough in the world for this to appeal.
6. The Sin of America, Catherynne M. Valente. An angry, and necessarily horrible tale.
