I've enjoyed this series! Particular favorites:
- Muthi Nhlema, Piss Corpse (very droll)
- Libby Young, The Smell of Rain (haunting me since I read it)
- Carmelo Rafalà, The Clarity of Ice (my kind of SF 🤩)
Also liked Zainab Omaki's The Last and Final Battle.

Has to be the the whole ZamaShort series, it has been a wild ride so far and every one has been most dear to me, I am honoured to have put forth works from all these amazing authors.
