Reckoning 6
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedReckoning 6, edited by Aïcha Martine Thiam and Gabriele Santiago, addresses the intersection between social upheaval and environmental change.
“[I]t’s like a brief closing of the hand around something small and floating, framing it just long enough that we are able to look, really look at it. And then, if we can, we let it go.”
—Aïcha Martine Thiam
“It is not utopia. But it is what we can have, these careful negotiations, communications, challenges, and sharing. We have relationships. New, complicated, frustrating, rewarding. Alive.”
—Gabriela Santiago

Welcome to issue 75 of FANTASY MAGAZINE! In this issue, we have short fiction by Shalini Srinivasan (“Markets: A Beginner’s Guide”) and Corey Flintoff (“Free Coffin”); flash fiction by Moses Ose Utomi (“The Mirror Test”) and Saswati Chatterjee (“Pest Control”); poetry by Betsy Aoki (“?magatoki”) and Maria Dong (“Cherries, Sweet and Tart”); and an interview with Tochi Onyebuchi.

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 140 of LIGHTSPEED! We’re flying into the new year with a piece of fantasy fiction from Maria Dong called, appropriately enough, “In the Beginning of Me I Was a Bird.” It’s a fascinating meditation on self, personality, and our relationships with animals and each other. Vanessa Fogg brings us a beautiful tale of magic in her new short story “An Address to the Newest Disciples of the Lost Words,” and our flash story, “In the Cold, Dark Sea,” is a sea-flavored tale of vengeance from Jenny Rae Rappaport. We also have a reprint of “Give Me Cornbread or Give Me Death,” by the one and only N.K. Jemisin.
If you’re hungry for some science fiction, Aimee Ogden’s flash story “Dissent: A Five-Course Meal (With Suggested Pairings)” will certainly whet your appetite, and Jendayi Brooks-Flemister’s post-apocalyptic tale “Up Falling” will make for a filling second course. Lincoln Michel writes about the future of land-use in his story “Cale and Stardust Battle the Mud Gobblers of Hudson Valley.” We also have a reprint from Leah Cypess (“On the Ship”).
As usual, we have spotlight interviews with all our writers and three great book reviews. And for our ebook readers, we also have a book excerpt (Goliath by Tochi Onyebuchi). It’s another terrific month in speculative fiction, friends-we hope you enjoy it!
