The Honey Trap in SF Caledonia

Sepia pen artwork by Becca McCall - a small part of the main image. A short-haired person sitting on a chair holds up an apple. Surrounding them are tables spread put across a hall, all covered in trays of produce and surrounded by various people.

My award-winning story ‘The Honey Trap’ is available to read for free on SF Caledonia – now with snazzy new art by Becca McCall.

The Honey Trap is a story about perspective and fruit growers in a climate crisis future. First published in 2014 in La Femme, a NewCon Press anthology, it won the BSFA Award for Best Short Fiction the following year.

SF Caledonia, an offshoot of Shoreline of Infinity, showcases the best of Scottish SF, including Anne Charnock, Tendai Huchu, Ken MacLeod, Lyndsey Croal and more. So, it’s nice to have my wee story recognised as belonging with tales by such big names. It’s also lovely to see this story get its own art too, with Becca McCall’s interpretation of the Grower’s Fair from the opening scene.
