If you had told us fifteen years ago, when LSQ was a one-woman operation running on a steady diet of "wouldn't it be cool if", that we would attract authors and stories as good as these, we would have been very pleased indeed! These stories are deep.They are full of hard earned human emotions, in spite of their fantastical settings. Ghosts and goblins and living houses and fairy tales and the underworld are all great, but if they don't get under your skin, and maybe even draw some blood from time to time, then what's the point, at this late hour? So please accept our latest invitation to the greatest show in speculative literature, as we all change and evolve and become our next selves, together.

Horses loom large in our collective histories. Symbols of power, of strength, companions on a long journey, heroes, magical creatures, etc. they're woven through the fabric of our tales. All this love of horses is pouring out here and now, the obvious inspiration for this year's theme. There's such a wild and varied selection of stories in this issue, tales full of magic and mayhem, court intrigues and cybernetic mounts. And of course, a few unicorns for good measure. It's nothing less than you might expect from a stories centered on a creature with such presence in the tales we've told around a fire for millennia.
