Aerth by Deborah Tomkins; Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix; Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao; The Garden by Nick Newman
Joint winner of the inaugural Weatherglass Novella prize, chosen by Ali Smith, this is the story of Magnus, who is born on Aerth, a planet rapidly approaching a new ice age. The small population, decimated by earlier pandemics, seeks to spread kindness and to do no harm to others or the world. Magnus hopes for adventure and as an adult joins a team trying to establish a colony on Mars.
Elderly sisters Evelyn and Lily have lived for years in one room of their childhood home, performing the chores, rules and rituals prescribed by their mother long ago. They tend the garden, never daring to look over the wall that surrounds it. There may be monsters out there; fragmented memories suggest there will be dangerous men. They haven’t seen another living soul since Mother died, until they discover a stranger hiding in the house.
