New issue and December ebook!
Added 2015-12-21 21:26:15 +0000 UTCOur final issue of 2015 is up! Which means (a) a bumper week of reading to tide you over to the new year, and (b) this month's ebook edition, attached to this post.
In the issue, you will find:
- A story by T. Kingfisher: "There was a girl who died every morning, and it would not have been a problem except that she kept bees."
- A poem by M. Sereno: "Princess, they say: find her in the garden of bone, / feeding hearts to the soil."
- Genevieve Valentine's latest column: "Gods of Egypt comes into the world rightfully chastised, pre-bombed, its soulless vapidity awkwardly on display, like curtains pulled back on a trashed model home."
- Polenth Blake and Bogi Takács in conversation about gender, sex, and sexuality in SF: "The core issue is such discussions sometimes try to shift what is acceptable to a new fixed point, rather than positively representing the full diversity of experiences."
- A book club discussion of Ancient, Ancient by Kiini Ibura Salaam: "My reading as a reader vs. reading as a critic selves are fighting over this book."
- And reviews of Letters to Tiptree, Stephanie Saulter's Revolution trilogy, and Carmilla.
Phew.
It's been a busy year at SH, and it's felt like a very long one in some ways -- so thank you, once again, for your support, from everyone working on the magazine. We don't take it for granted, and we do very much appreciate it.
Looking ahead to 2016, we've got stories in hand by Nin Harris, Arkady Martine, Lavie Tidhar and others; poetry by Jenny Blackford, Gemma Files, Loraine Stevens and others; not one but two new columnists on the horizon; and all sorts of other things. See you there!
