Congratulations to Alpha graduate Rachel Halpern (2007 & 2008), whose short story “A Change of Heart” went up on Friday at Daily Science Fiction:
And then there was the giant who hid his heart so he could live forever. The tale was all about the prince, about his perilous quest to find and destroy the heart, but Clara couldn’t help feeling that it was bad enough to kill a person–anyone knew that was murder–and much worse after they’d gone to all that trouble.
You can read the whole story at Daily Science Fiction’s website, and a full list of Alpha graduates’ publications and awards is here.
