Lightspeed Magazine, August 2012
Lightspeed is an online 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.
In our August 2012 issue, we have original fantasy by Kat Howard (“Breaking the Frameâ€) and Linda Nagata (“A Moment Before It Struckâ€), along with fantasy reprints by Wil McCarthy (“The Necromancer in Loveâ€) and Delia Sherman (“Cotillionâ€).
Plus, we’ll have original science fiction by 2012 Nebula Award-winner Ken Liu (“The Bookmaking Habits of Select Speciesâ€) and a collaboration between Caroline M. Yoachim and Tina Connolly (“Flash Bang Rememberâ€), and SF reprints by io9’s Charlie Jane Anders (“Love Might Be Too Strong a Wordâ€) and award-winning author Michael Swanwick (“Slow Lifeâ€).
For our ebook readers, our ebook-exclusive novella is “A Separate War†by Joe Haldeman, and we have an excerpt of Kitty Steals the Show, the new Kitty Norville novel by bestselling author Carrie Vaughn.
All that, plus our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, and feature interviews with bestselling authors Kim Stanley Robinson and Seanan McGuire (a/k/a Mira Grant).
