Frank, this was the motivation I needed to start digging into the collection of the best sci-fi/fantasy short stories of 2021 that's been sitting on my shelf for a bit

You've inspired me to dig into one author's work, then find the Ron Collins book you mentioned. I am also looking forward to your upcoming spooky October issue!

Great share, Frank. What do you think of Casino Royale?

The reading out loud bit confuses me. When I am reading out loud, I'm too attentive to annunciation and cadence that I lose track of the meaning. I end up getting each sentence word for word, without knowing what happened.

Exceptions: if I'm in a loud environment, the reading aloud crowds out other noise and keeps my focus; if I haven't understood the passage after rereading several times, reading aloud jumpstarts my comprehension; for editing my own work; Finnegans Wake, which is incomprehensible until you hear it.
