“And All the Trees of the Forest Shall Clap Their Hands,” Uncanny Magazine Issue 32
January/February 2020
Well, Your Honours, it is true that I killed your child king, indeed it is true…

This story is also read by Joy Piedmont on the Uncanny Magazine Podcast, episode 32b.

reviewed by Rich Horton at Locus:
“The best story in this issue, however, is ‘And All the Trees of the Forest Shall Clap Their Hands’ by Sharon Hsu, yet another Narnia-variant/commentary. (Yes, I know, there seem as many of those these days as trees in the forest, but there’s life in that thar trope still!)….Strong, dark work.”

reviewed by Charles Payseur at Quick Sip Reviews:
“…a gripping, wrenching read, putting the traditional portal fantasy into some uncomfortable and grim places and not apologizing for it. A fine read!”

reviewed by Rebecca Crunden:
“This was utterly gutting, but so beautifully written.”

“For All My Missing Jiejies and Ayis,” Uncanny Magazine Issue 19
November/December 2017
Her face is a dark smudge on a white milk carton…

reviewed by Charles Payseur at Quick Sip Reviews:
“It’s a sharp and insightful piece that varies its stanza length and line lengths as if confronting the reader with all the different arguments, all the different ways of asking why this erasure is allowed. And it’s a question that lingers long after the poem is finished, ending like a whisper that sticks in the mind, echoing louder and louder.”
