Strange Horizons Reviews

After a couple of months of behind-the-scenes bustle and preparation, the Strange Horizons reviews department is now back up and running; many thanks to everyone who's helped out along the way. As Susan Marie Groppi says in her editorial:

We're going to be focusing mainly on shorter reviews than we did in the past, but we're going to be running more of them—several a week, posted daily from Monday through Thursday. We encourage you to check in during the week to see what we're up to, but for your added convenience we've also set up an RSS syndication feed for the reviews department. What I'm even more excited about, though, is that we're going to be expanding the scope of the reviews department. Movies, comic books, anime, video games, music, television shows, poetry—if it's out there and it's got some speculative content, we want to be reviewing it here at Strange Horizons.

First up is grahamsleight's brilliant review of the recent series of Doctor Who, 'Take Me To The Fantastic Place'. (Seriously: it almost convinced me that the show is worth watching, and that takes some doing.) Later this week there'll be reviews of Kelly Link's Magic for Beginners, Byron de Prorok's Dead Men Do Tell Tales, and Kate Wilhelm's Storyteller, by Geneva Melzack, Justin Howe and Greg Beatty, respectively. And that's just the start. For your reading convenience, the reviews are also syndicated: Atom, or RSS 2.0. The LJ feed you're looking for is sh_reviews. So go, read, enjoy, comment, link!

(And if you'd be interested in writing reviews, feel free to get in touch; if certain people reading this don't, I'm liable to start hunting you down and 'convincing you' it's the right thing to do, one by one. Just sayin'.)
