Finlay returns to Futurismic‘s pages this month with the timely and disturbing “Your Life Sentence.“ When we started publishing fiction, Mr. Finlay led the way [...]

As of today, I’m completely caught up on responding to submissions in the Futurismic slushpile. Which means that, twenty-eight days into my fiction-editing vacation, I’m finally starting my fiction-editing vacation!
