A very Merry festive season to you all, no matter what you celebrate, celebrate it with the love of your family and friends... and us! We have another fantastic issue with the continuation of The Huntress by Ana Marija Meshkova, Quest for Knowledge by Christopher Jackson-Ash, and of course the epic adventures continue in Trouble at the Docks by Jim King. We also have our gorgeous Scifaiku by Wendy Van Camp and some wonderful new stories by guest authors for you to enjoy! We’d like to wish every one of our readers a safe and prosperous new year, as we head towards our second year of publishing (Wow, can you believe it...? Two years in April!) We are hoping to organise an awards event for our authors next year, there will be more information in regards to this as it comes to hand! We are currently working on two anthologies and will be running a Crowdfunding Campaign next year, so keep your eyes peeled for that. And now we have a Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ user?u=2612526&ty=h&u=2612526 so, if you like what we do – why not pop by and pledge us just $1 per month – it’ll go on feeding the various mythical beasts at the heart of the Far Horizons’ castle! But for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the full lobotomy that will ensue after reading our fantastic takes of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror!
