Last Minute Hugo Reads

[hatgirl]

There's only a week left until the Hugo Nomination window closes! I am frantically leaping from story to story in an attempt to stuff my brain full of every potentially-awesome piece of speculative fiction published in 2014. In case anyone else is similarly frozen by decision paralysis, below are some of my favourite free-to-read-online Hugo-eligible short stories and novelettes of 2014.
