Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #33
Billed as Australia’s Pulpiest SF Magazine, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine is a long running and respected antipodean publication of speculative fiction. The first issue hit the stands in June of 2002, and readers and reviewers have taken notice ever since. The publishing co-op maintains a roughly bimonthly release schedule, with each issue containing about […]
Continue ReadingBlack Static #4
If acoustic static is white noise—a random signal with a flat power spectral density—then perhaps it follows that Black Static or, forgive the synoeciosis, black white noise, presents a primary inversion, a constantly fluctuating power spectral density. The fourth issue of this stylish horror magazine delivers six signal bursts, and I’m happy to report that […]
Continue ReadingMidnight Street #10
Midnight Street is a 56-page saddle-stapled A4 magazine with a color cover. It doesn’t have the classiest production quality, but what’s between the covers is what matters. Its subtitle, “Journeys Into Darkness,” doesn’t particularly apply to the contents of issue #10, but that’s not the fault of the contents, which, although they don’t necessarily fill […]
Continue ReadingCity Slab #12
The twelfth issue of City Slab opens with “Woman in the Dark” by Tom Piccirilli, a visceral piece of dark urban fiction that skirts a supernatural edge while handing out a well-told tale of redemption. Collie ends up saving a prostitute from a very bad beating. Upon reaching safety, he discovers he knows her, […]
Continue ReadingWeird Tales #348
Weird Tales #348 begins with W.H. Pugmire and M.K. Snyder’s “The House of Idiot Children,” a rather solemn but effective story. Samuel Shammua is a Hebrew teacher who has a very special student, an autistic child who can manipulate language as if it were a virus. The solemnity comes from the obsessive, almost religious attitude […]
Continue ReadingAsimov’s, June 2008
Opening the June, 2008, issue of Asimov’s is “Call Back Yesterday” by Nancy Kress. Caitlin, Seena, and Josh are patients in a special ward of those afflicted by Cathcart Syndrome, a condition which causes them to hallucinate visions of people at odd moments. And yet, it seems that there is much more going on […]
Continue ReadingRealms of Fantasy, June 2008
Tanith Lee doesn’t disappoint with “The Snake: A Story of the Flat Earth” in the June, 2008, issue of Realms of Fantasy. A fairy-tale type story rife with intrigue, it is a complete page-turner all the way to the surprise ending. The death of her beloved prince causes Princess Zerezel to become catatonic, and […]
Continue ReadingThe Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, May 2008
The May 2008 issue of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction kicks off with a hint of horror provided by Albert E. Cowdrey’s “Thrilling Wonder Stories.” Knowledgeable science fiction readers might recognise the title as a reference to a real (and recently relaunched) pulp magazine, and the story is set in the era of […]
Continue ReadingInterzone, #215, April 2008
As befits a springtime issue, Interzone #215 offers six stories of transition, death, and new life (of one sort or another).
In “The Endling,” Jamie Barras introduces a host of interesting characters in a complex situation of interlocking fates. Wright is the last member of a human space colony taken captive by the Melzemi, aliens […]
Murky Depths #3
With the third issue of Murky Depths, it appears that the editorial team has hit its stride. The art is great, the pieces resonate better with each other, and the editorial hiccups have vanished.
Issue #3 starts out with a backwoods monster tale, “What’s Yours Is Mine” by Pike Stephenson, that opens with Tarantino flare. […]
