Luna Station Quarterly – Issue 061
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedYou would be forgiven if you asked yourself, “Why did Luna Station randomly publish a double sized issue at the beginning of year sixteen?”
We could be cheeky and say, “Because we felt like it!” We could tell you that we received an unprecedented amount of amazing submissions this cycle, by some of the best female identified speculative storytellers in space and time, which is true. But the real reason is that stories provide solace, in a way that few other things do, and the least we could offer to you, our dear Friends of the Station, is an extra helping of places to go and things to think about because … well … y’know.
Spring is nearly here. Darkness comes and goes and the sun ALWAYS rises. Even if it takes awhile. And in the meantime, there are stories.

Lightspeed Magazine, Issue 177 (February 2025)
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 177 of LIGHTSPEED! This month we’re serializing an original science fiction novelette by Lowry Poletti: “It Holds Her in the Palm of One Hand.” If you love SF about creatures with the ability of space flight, this piece will really speak to you-and if you live with domesticated animals, it will certainly make you question your relationship with them. We also have two terrific flash pieces: “Books to Take at the End of the World” from Carolyn Ives Gilman and “My Girlfriend Is a Nebula” by David DeGraff. Our original fantasy shorts include “Some to Cradle, Some to Eat” by Eugenia Triantafyllou, which blends fairy tale creatures with real family struggles to poignant effect. Kristina Ten returns to our pages with her new story “What We Don’t Know About Angels,” which captures the heartbreak of watching a loved one suffer from cancer. We also have two thought-provoking flash stories: “An Omodest Proposal” by Andrew Dana Hudson, and “Standardized Test” by Seoung Kim.

We’re bringing on Neil McRobert, host of the Talking Scared Podcast, to kick us off with a discussion of survival horror!
