After the past couple entries, I suspect some of you are thinking \"Well, that's all well and good, but I've never read Strange Horizons<\/cite>, so I can't really comment on it.\"<\/p>\n

Luckily, that can be fixed, because the magazine is freely readable online. Make this the week that you stop by and check it out!<\/p>\n

For example, you could start with the story that's received the most buzz in recent weeks: Leonard Richardson's \"Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs<\/a>,\" featuring dinosaurs! from Mars! and monster truck rallies!<\/p>\n

Or if you're in a more contemplative mood, you could immerse yourself in Helen Keeble's alternate-Victorian mermaid story from a couple months ago: \"A Journal of Certain Events of Scientific Interest [...]<\/a>,\" the full title of which is too long for me to quote here.<\/p>\n

We also publish reprints now and then; a few months back, we got to reprint one of my all-time favorite stories, Theodore Sturgeon's \"The Man Who Lost the Sea<\/a>.\"<\/p>\n

And that's just a small sampling of our fiction from recent months. If none of those sound appealing, browse through our fiction archives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or maybe you're not so into fiction. We publish three reviews<\/a> each week: movie reviews (like David Schwartz's review of Moon<\/a><\/cite>), book reviews (such as Gwyneth Jones's review of Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet<\/a>), TV reviews (David Hines recently reviewed season 2 of Sarah Connor Chronicles<\/a><\/cite>), and even occasional comic and video game reviews.<\/p>\n

And then there's the poetry<\/a>, like Sonya Taaffe's recent Frankenstein-related poem \"The Chymical Marriage<\/a>.\" And the articles<\/a>, from an interview with David Weber<\/a> to speculation about dinosaurs<\/a> to statistical analysis of a notable-books list<\/a>. And columns<\/a>. And so on.<\/p>\n

So if you haven't read Strange Horizons<\/cite>, or haven't done so recently, come take a look!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
