For my money, Glimmer Train Stories always has something to offer, and issue #81 is no exception to the rule. There were a number of memorable short stories in this anthology, most notable for me, Roadrunner by Katherine Young, but also including, Man in the Elevator by Joy Wood; The Corn God by Paul Rawlins; The Piper by Sean Padraic McCarthy; and, In a Library, in Saltillo by Lydia Fitzpatrick.
