This is a quick roundup of all the original fiction published by Strange Horizons in 2017: three novelettes and 35 short stories, including three translations. If you’re reading and nominating for awards this year, these stories are all eligible! And if not, you should read them purely because they are amazing and we’re very proud of all of them.
