Sam Tomaino of SFRevu recommends that you subscribe to Kaleidotrope:

Kaleidotrope is a magazine that you must take your time with, but it is very rewarding to do so. In addition to the stories, it always has a hilarious Horoscopes section, which I always enjoy.

Congratulations to Simon Petrie, whose story "Single Handed" (Kaleidotrope #6, April 2009), which Rich Horton described as "quite clever," has been nominated as Best Novella/Novelette in this year's Sir Julius Vogel Award. This isn't the first time a contributor to Kaleidotrope has been nominated for the New Zealand fan-based awards, but it is the first time a story from the zine has been. Congratulations again to Simon!

Bill Ward's story "How Antkind Lost its Soul" (October 2009) was recently named among the stories in the Tangent Online Recommended Reading List for last year.

Kaleidotrope contributor Heather Clitheroe ("Replicate Fade," April 2009) reads her short story "Come to Me" from the new vampire anthology Evolve: Vampire Stories of the New Undead:
