Re: JCO: 9/11 stories

A couple of SF/fantasy takes on 9/11:

"Only Partly Here" by Lucius Shepard - probably easiest to find this in The
Year's Best Fantasy & Horror: Seventeenth Annual Collection (edited by Ellen
Datlow, Kelly Link & Gavin J. Grant), St Martin's Press, 2004. Recommended.
It was originally published in the Mar 2003 issue of Asimov's SF and also
appears in Shepard's collection Trujillo (PS Publishing [UK], 2004)

Another one, which I haven't read but has been recommended to me, is "In
Spirit" by Pat Forde. It appeared in the September 2002 issue of Analog, but
I don't know if it's been reprinted.
