Lightspeed Magazine, February 2014

Description

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. This month, we have original science fiction by Jessica Barber ("Coma Kings") and Carrie Vaughn ("Harry and Marlowe and the Intrigues at the Aetherian Exhibition"), along with SF reprints by Ramez Naam ("Water") and Robert Charles Wilson ("Fireborn"). Plus, we have original fantasy by Sunny Moraine ("So Sharp That Blood Must Flow") and Ken Liu ("None Owns the Air"), and fantasy reprints by Rachel Swirsky ("Detours on the Way to Nothing") and Eugene Mirabelli ("Love in Another Language"). All that, and of course, we also have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with a pair of feature interviews. For our ebook readers, we also have the novella reprint "Hellhound" by Robin McKinley and novel excerpts from ANNIHILATION by Jeff VanderMeer, THE TRILLIONIST by Sagan Jeffries, and DREAMWALKER by C.S. Friedman.
