We have so much to celebrate as we look back on 2023!
In July, Tor.com marked its 15th anniversary, having published more than 600 original stories from authors around the world while exploring the universe (as Stubby is wont to do) of speculative fiction, from dark fantasy to space opera, from horror to dystopia, from folk tales to alternate history.
This year, we added 31 original stories—at turns haunting, hilarious, moving, chilling, and thought-provoking—to our considerable collection, publishing 19 short stories and 12 novelettes.
We are tremendously proud of—and grateful for—our talented authors, illustrators, and editors, who brought us so many incredible stories this year. We hope you will nominate your favorites for the Hugos, Nebulas, Stokers and other upcoming awards that honor outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror—but most of all, we hope you’ve enjoyed reading these stories as much as we have!
