And at least half of those folks occasionally read this journal; so if you see this, congratulations, y'all!<\/p>\n<p>(We've also published stories by three of the authors with books on the Fantasy Novel list: two originals, one reprint. But that seems different, somehow, even though when I try to articulate why I get bogged down.)<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of cool-sounding single-author collections on the list, including both living authors and retrospectives by famous dead authors. (The latter include Leigh Brackett, L. Sprague de Camp, George Alec Effinger, Henry Kuttner &amp; C. L. Moore, H. P. Lovecraft, Judith Merril, Robert Sheckley, and Theodore Sturgeon, all of whose work I like.))<\/p>\n<p>There's a bunch of other good stuff on these lists, too. But what I'm most pleased by is the presence of one novelette and six short stories published at <cite>Strange Horizons<\/cite>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050516\/amazon-f.shtml\">Planet of the Amazon Women<\/a>\", by David Moles (novelette)<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050321\/0coates-f.shtml\">Magic in a Certain Slant of Light<\/a>\", by Deborah Coates<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20051003\/goss-f.shtml\">Pip and the Fairies<\/a>\", by Theodora Goss<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050207\/coffee-cup-f.shtml\">A Coffee Cup\/Alien Invasion Story<\/a>\", by Douglas Lain<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050418\/0close-f.shtml\">Close to You<\/a>\", by Meghan McCarron<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/zodiac\/zodiac.shtml\">Tales of the Chinese Zodiac<\/a>\", by Jenn Reese<\/li>\n<li>\"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/2005\/20050307\/malcontenta-f.shtml\">La Malcontenta<\/a>\", by Liz Williams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locus Magazine&#8217;s Recommended Reading list for 2005 is now online.
