As we have to say on this day every year, it is really, most sincerely, true; there is a new Clarkesworld available.

Issue #43 contains the usual two stories. We headline with “Between Two Dragons” by Yoon Ha Lee. That one is also available as a podcast (wow, 31 downloads already). Our second story is “January” by Becca De La Rosa (who is studying Ancient Greek at university in Dublin – wow again). That one will be podcast in a couple of weeks’ time.

Our interview this month is with the very wonderful N.K. Jemisin (she of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms). And in my department movie critic Dan Kimmel discusses the use of aliens on the big screen.

Finally, we have another great cover, this time from French artist, Aimé Jalon.
