Fantasy Magazine, Issue 76 (February 2022)
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedFANTASY MAGAZINE is a digital magazine focusing exclusively on the fantasy genre. In its pages, you will find all types of fantasy-dark fantasy, contemporary urban tales, surrealism, magical realism, science fantasy, high fantasy, folktales_and anything and everything in between. FANTASY is entertainment for the intelligent genre reader-we publish stories of the fantastic that make us think, and tell us what it is to be human.
Welcome to issue 76 of FANTASY MAGAZINE! In this issue’s short fiction, family gatherings are rendered larger than life in S. Fambul’s “Cousins Season,” and “Slow Communication” by Dominique Dickey explores a conversation over generations; in flash fiction, Allahrakhi Memon takes us on a strange journey in “The Unseen,” and Julia August’s “After Naxos, Ariadne” redefines the labyrinth; for poetry, we have “The Prophet, To His Angel” by Bogi Takacs and “Mister Potato Head” by Mark Dimaisip.

Lightspeed Magazine, Issue 141 (February 2022)
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedLIGHTSPEED is a digital science fiction and fantasy magazine. In its pages, you will find science fiction: from near-future, sociological soft SF, to far-future, star-spanning hard SF–and fantasy: from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales.
Welcome to issue 141 of LIGHTSPEED! Science fiction is one of the literature’s most fun sandboxes. It’s a place to write about new versions of the world, and new versions of our selves. In Isabel J. Kim’s new short story “Plausible Realities, Improbable Dreams,” you get both-in one multiverse-braided array of realities. There’s romance and physics and coffee, and if that doesn’t reel you in, well, you’re heartless. For those of you with hearts, our other original SF short is going to tug at yours. In “NeuNet,” Sharang Biswas gives us the story of what caring for our elders might look like in the future, and it’s just as hard as it is today. To lighten things up, we have a fun flash piece (“Bad Code”) from Stephen Graham Jones. Plus, we have an SF reprint by Karin Lowachee (“Lyceum”). Speculative fiction of all forms allows us to interrogate human history and social constructs in new, and sometimes painful ways. In that spirit, we have a powerful original fantasy story by Isha Karki called “When We Were Gods.” You don’t have to spend much time in the ghetto gulleys to see our own world reflected back to us in ways both serious and magical. On the lighter side, PH Lee’s Tales of the Great Sweet Sea returns with a new fable: “The Honest Fox, or, A Truth Shared is Not a Truth Lost.” We also have a pandemic-inspired flash piece (“How to Abandon Your Sourdough Starter”) from Theresa DeLucci. Our fantasy reprint is by Anjali Sachdeva (“Not Creator, Nor Destroyer”). All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author spotlights, along with book reviews from our terrific review team.
Nightmare Magazine, Issue 113 (February 2022)
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedNIGHTMARE is a digital horror and dark fantasy magazine. In NIGHTMARE’s pages, you will find all kinds of horror fiction, from zombie stories and haunted house tales, to visceral psychological horror.
Welcome to issue 113 of NIGHTMARE! We have original short fiction from Ray Nayler (“The Summer Castle”) and Jonathan L. Howard (“The Walls”). Our Horror Lab originals include a flash story (“Fenworth City Municipal Watersheds Field Survey”) from A.L. Goldfuss and a poem (“Nineveh”) from Belicia Rhea. We also have the latest installment of our column on horror, “The H Word,” plus author spotlights with our authors, and a book review from Terence Taylor. It’s another great issue, so be sure to check it out. And while you’re at it, tell a friend about NIGHTMARE.
