We've passed the half-way mark! Thanks to all who have donated so far. Here are some more posts from the past few days:

  • Shweta Narayan: "You might remember that, earlier this year, SH was called on racefail. Both their response and csecooney's, here, were positive; they took responsibility, apologized for harm done, and committed to actively working on doing better in future. This is vanishingly rare. It's one of really very few good examples in the field for responding to being called out, and I think it says, more even than the lovely fiction and poetry and such, why Strange Horizons is really damn important for marginalized folks in this field. And that's the biggest reason why I'll be donating again this year, and I urge everyone else to do so too. "
  • David J Schwartz picks out three stories you should read right before you donate from our archives, namely "Every Angel is Terrifying" by Nia Stephens, "Bone Women" by Eliot Fintushel, and "Sleeping with Bears" by Theodora Goss
  • Nader Elhefnawy: "by any measure, one of the foremost publishers of speculative fiction (and related nonfiction) on the web"
  • io9 even thinks we're venerable!
  • Karen Munro: "I can say without hesitation that they are a terrific magazine to publish with, and that they publish great stuff."
  • Thanks also to SF Signal for a boost

We’d been on holiday at the Shoon Sea only three days when the incident occurred. Dr. Gar had been staying there a few months for medical research and had urged me and my friend Shooshooey to visit.
...
Tu enfiles longuement la chemise des murs,/ tout comme d’autres le font avec la chemise de la mort.
The little monster was not born like a human child, yelling with cold and terror as he left his mother’s womb. He had come to life little by little, on the high, three-legged bench. When his eyes had opened, they met the eyes of the broad-shouldered sculptor, watching them tenderly.
Le petit monstre n’était pas né comme un enfant des hommes, criant de froid et de terreur au sortir du ventre maternel. Il avait pris vie peu à peu, sur la haute selle à trois pieds, et quand ses yeux s’étaient ouverts, ils avaient rencontré ceux du sculpteur aux larges épaules, qui le regardaient tendrement.
We're delighted to welcome Nat Paterson to the blog, to tell us more about his translation of Léopold Chauveau's story 'The Little Monster'/ 'Le Petit Monstre', which appears in our April 2024 issue.
For a long time now you’ve put on the shirt of the walls,/just as others might put on a shroud.
