Bewildering Stories welcomes...

Kenneth Nichols

Kenneth adds to our short list of current and former New Yorkers, including those from upstate: Dustin LaValley, Laurie Seidler, and Kristen Tracey. Surely there are more, such as Ye Copy Editor, but they just haven’t mentioned the place.

With a brand-new B.A. in English and Writing, Kenneth has a respectable list of fiction publications to his credit. If “No Tears for Death,” in this issue, is any indication, he’ll have a lot more before long.

“No Tears” seems like a poignant but relatively simple take on the science-fiction premise of personality transfer and gives entirely new urgency to the the computer users’ bywords “save” and “backup.” Upon reflection, though, the story grows on the reader: it morphs from science fiction to horror... and then to tragedy.

Welcome to Bewildering Stories, Kenneth. We hope to hear from you again soon and often!
