Review of Denman Netherland, “Tongue,” Luna Station Quarterly 66 (June 2026): 179-187 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This is one of the most bizarre stories that I’ve ever read while reviewing for this blog. Parts of it were so normal, so natural, I had to keep reminding myself that this is a spec fic story. Parts of it had eerie resonances with psychological horror. But that ending? What the hell was that?! Just, wow.
Don’t read if body stuff and/or medical malfeisance isn’t your thing!
