I read The Finite Canvas by Brit Mandelo last week. Very strange story, but quite powerful. The "canvas" is not painted but engraved into the skin. I won't say no more, just that it's not for the faint-hearted.
I also have about 3 hours of listening left of The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R. Kiernan. This one is about the life of a schizophrenic writer. Kiernan is great with language and it's a pleasure to listen to this book, even though it's rather heavy stuff, at least heavier than the other two books by this author I have listened to.
So far, I have read four of the nominated short stories, but none of them really stuck with me. They were good, but not great:
Tom Crosshill: Fragmentation, or Ten Thousand Goodbyes
Maria Dahvana Headley: Give Her Honey When You Hear Her Scream
Ken Liu: The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species
Cat Rambo: Five Ways to Fall in Love on Planet Porcelain
