Reactor

It’s almost the end of 2013, and we’re unbelievably proud to have published so much excellent fiction this year! Over the past twelve months we have published 62 original short stories, novelettes, and novellas, each one accompanied by an original illustration. Our thanks and gratitude to all the authors, editors, and illustrators that have worked to make such a robust program. And, of course, thank you to the readers that make it all possible!

We hope that you will consider nominating your favorite stories for the Hugos, Nebulas, and other upcoming awards which honor outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror—but most of all, we hope that you have enjoyed reading these works as much as we have!

And, as a reminder, for you can download our free anthology Some of the Best From Tor.com from your favorite ebook retailer.
