I just read the hands-down best short story I've come across this year. There I was, minding my own business, thinking about double knitting [which I believe I've also seen as "thermal knitting", somewhere, somewhen] as I trotted out to the mailbox to see what might be lying in wait for me.
And what did I spy with my little blue eye? The most recent edition of Weird Tales, Issue 328. (The website's not up to date yet over at DNA Publications, if you go there and follow the current issue link for WT, you'll find an older issue than that upon which I expound.)
And (cue dramatic music), just the best little gem of a story, "The Little Nightmusic That Could", by Stephen Woodworth. I had to stop reading the mag after I finished that story. A sheer delight, though I felt it should have ended 2 paragraphs earlier than it did. [Upon re-reading this morning, I might be talked into taking that back. Might.]
What if...Eine Kleine Nachtmusik [y'know, Mozart, dead composer, famous divertissement music] came to life?
What if?
Go subscribe to Weird Tales right now. Any safe harbor for stories that delicious deserves your attention.
