If you love Strange Horizons (and we very much do) then now is the time to show your support by donating a little to their fund drive. Over on their blog they've got a lovely list of reasons why you should support them, including a few nifty prizes for donators... Books! Art! Tarot Readings! Tax relief! (er, what?)
All of which are very good reasons, however the best and foremost one should be this: Strange Horizons is one of the best magazines out there. Not just for the fiction - which, it has to be said, is almost uniformly excellent. We've reviewed Recognizing Gabe: un cuento de hadas by Alberto Yáñez (Jan 2012) and Tornado's Siren by Brooke Bolander (Feb 2012), and further recommend Feed Me the Bones of our Saints (part 1) (part 2) by Alex Dally MacFarlane (July 2012),
Tiger Stripes by Nghi Vo (May 2012), Pataki (Part 1)&(Part 2) by Nisi Shawl (2011),
起狮，行礼 (Rising Lion—The Lion Bows) by Zen Cho (2011),
The Yew’s Embrace by Francesca Forrest (2011), & Last Of The Monsters by Emil Skaftun (2010).
But! Also! Their non-fiction is also brilliant. Always fascinating articles and some extremely juicy in-depth reviews that should not be missed.
Share the love and keep them going strong by donating here!
And if you're curious, here's how the fund drive is going so far:

Bitesize Recs of the Week
While the Shiny Shorts team get their heads around longer reviews again, here's some bitesize recommendations...
Blood Oranges by K.C. Shaw - Daily SF. A fun flash tale about a vampire wanting to share his hobby with his beloved.
Fire Exit by Mhari Simpson - Tales of the Nun & Dragon (from Fox Spirit) Another fun tale, this one about an inn beset by dragons and the girl who wants to escape it.
Cursed Motives by Marissa Lingen - Beneath Ceaseless Skies #105 A young imperial princess with a knack for casting a curse stops an invasion and rescues her ship with a couple of well placed curses. An enchanting and highly readable story.
