En noviembre del 2012 nació el blog "Cuentos para Algernon", con el objetivo de publicar traducciones on-line gratuitas de relatos escritos en inglés (principalmente de ciencia ficción, fantasía y terror) que, a pesar de su calidad e interés, estaban inéditos en español. "Cuentos para Algernon: Año V" es una recopilación gratuita, legal y descargable desde este blog en diversos formatos (tanto para e-book como en formato PDF), que incluye diez de los once relatos publicados durante el quinto año de vida del mismo. Entre ellos hay un ganador del premio British Science Fiction Awards y otro del Italo Calvino Award, además de finalistas de los premios Nebula, Mundial de Fantasía y Sidewise. En la primera parte del volumen se pueden leer los últimos relatos del homenaje al escritor Italo Calvino que se inició en la cuarta entrega de la serie (Cuentos para Algernon: Año IV), y la antología se cierra con los dos primeros cuentos de un especial dedicado a los relatos ultracortos. El contenido de la antología es el siguiente: . Pequeños dioses, de Tim Pratt (finalista premio Nebula) . El círculo cuadrado, de Rhys Hughes . El umbral y el dique, de Vajra Chandrasekera . Las cartas de los Mongergi, de Geetha Iyer (ganador premio Italo Calvino Award) . Cisne negro, de Bruce Sterling (finalista premio Sidewise) . Tres tazas de aflicción a la luz de las estrellas, de Aliette de Bodard (ganador British Science Fiction Awards) . El peso de las palabras, de Jeffrey Ford (finalista premio Mundial de Fantasía) . La criatura desiste, de Dale Bailey . Clips, recuerdos y cosas que nadie echará en falta, de Caroline M. Yoachim . Coyote, de Charles Yu
