This was a big year for Reactor—we changed our name, got a fresh new look, and we published A LOT of amazing stories! In 2024, we added 35 original stories to our considerable collection of Reactor Originals—from horror to hard sci-fi, from cyberpunk to apocalyptic, from dark fantasy to AI dystopias, and from folk tales to alternate histories. All told, we published 22 short stories, 11 novelettes, and ::squints:: is that a small moon? That’s no moon! It’s a novella! Two novellas, actually!
So make that 22 short stories, 11 novelettes, and two novellas, plus five reprints—an entire galaxy of speculative fiction for you to explore!
As always, we are so grateful for our talented authors, illustrators, and editors, who brought us so many incredible stories this year. Please read, enjoy, and consider nominating your favorites for the Hugos, Nebulas, Stokers and any other upcoming awards and lists that honor outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror! We’re looking forward to bringing you more fantastic—and fantastical—stories in 2025!
