2008 Hugo Award nominees :: short story

"Last Contact", Stephen Baxter
"Tideline", Elizabeth Bear
"Who's Afraid of Wolf 359?", Ken MacLeod
"Distant Replay", Mike Resnick
"A Small Room in Koboldtown", Michael Swanwick

I've read the first three short stories, and I liked them enough to put them on my Hugo nominations ballot. I was surprised to see that three of my choices in this category made the final list.

You won't find reviews for these pieces of short fiction on this blog. Back in early January, I decided that if I wanted to read enough short fiction to nominate, I better not review stories. Writing these reviews is time consuming for me. In the future, when I'm not as crunched for time, I'll write some more reviews.
