Not One of Us #85
Published January 2026
Theme: Outsider
“Welcome to our outsider issue…[We have] a shadow man outside the door; someone alone in a shrinking room with hundreds of tiles, each containing a captive world; a humanoid found dead by someone who is not exactly one of us; a young woman told by her sister that she was dropped off to her now-family by aliens; and a taxonomist trying to act social at a party where she is better at classifying than relating.”
