Issue 14 contains 10 delights: we’ve got carnal carnivores, haunted bridges and houses, balloon girls, mud boys, werewolves, an uncanny trashman, ghosts, soldiers, tea-harvesting robots, and of course, an Einstein-award-winning mathematician.

Lois Tilton, of Locus fame, gave two stories the coveted “Recommended” — check out “Food My Father Feeds Me, Love My Husband Shows Me,” by A. Al Balaskovits, and “Gödel Apparition Fugue,” by Craig DeLancey.

“…Whimsical, beautifully written and presented, and with thoughtful stories.”–Not if You Were the Last Short Story.

“Unfailingly well written, which gives hope for the future of the genre. … Read this issue of Shimmer to get a look at the future giants of the field.”–Tangent Online

    5.0 out of 5 stars Odd and lovely stories
    Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2012
    There's a certain quality that ties together the stories in this issue of Shimmer. Not exactly a darkness of mood, but more of a sense of longing for something that isn't quite there. The stories in general were strong, and I particularly enjoyed "Made of Mud" and "This House was Never a Castle" as well as "Food my Father Feeds Me." There were a few typos, but I didn't feel distracted from the issue as a whole, and was a bit saddened to come to the end.

    Shimmer Magazine publishes stories that dwell on darkness and powerful emotion. There is a particular mood to the magazine, like you're walking alone along a foggy road at midnight with only the sound of your breath echoing against the mist. Of course, this doesn't mean that I loved every story, but of the ten in this volume I had three strong favorites. "Chinvat" by Sunny Moraine takes place in a future San Francisco, with the Golden Gate Bridge and its legacy of suicide taking center stage. In "Made of Mud" by Ari B. Goelman, the urban fantasy tale takes for granted the existence of mudlings in a teenager's backyard. My favorite was "We Make Tea" by Meryl Ferguson, a science fiction story from the perspective of a household robot; that makes the tale sound average, but this tea plantation has been abandoned by humans, and the repercussions of this are myriad and heartbreaking.

    There were typos throughout, some stories with more than others. It was distracting at times, which is unfortunate considering the quality of the work. I really wonder if it was an issue with file formatting on the Kindle, as the typos were standardized in a strange way, such as "flash" and "flashlight" missing the "l" in every instance.

    That matter aside, this was a joy to read.
