We got the first batch of the September 2007 issue of F&SF at the office the other day, which contains:

NOVELETS

Wrong Number by Alexander Jablokov

Episode Seven: Last Stand Against the Pack in the Kingdom of the Purple Flowers by John Langan

The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate by Ted Chiang

SHORT STORIES

Envoy Extraordinary by Albert E. Cowdrey

Atalanta Loses at the Interpantheonic Trivia Bee by Heather Lindsley

Requirements for the Mythology Merit Badge by Kevin N. Haw

If We Can Save Just One Child by Robert Reed 

It’s kind of a special issue for me in a couple of ways:

1. The John Langan story (which I’m reprinting in Wastelands) thanks me at the end, because Langan was inspired to write it for the original post-apocalyptic anthology I’d been trying to sell; also, Gordon mentions me and Wastelands in the header note.
2. The Kevin N. Haw story is a new slush survivor.
3. Heather Lindsley is the second F&SF publication of one of my slush survivors.
4. I came up with the title for the Cowdrey story.
5. And it’s got a Ted Chiang story in it, which doesn’t have anything to do with me, but it really, really rocks.
