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 Hao Jingfang ("Invisible Planets," translated by Ken Liu) and Gregory Benford ("Leaving Night"), along with SF reprints by Maureen F. McHugh ("Dead Fads") and David Barr Kirtley ("Power Armor: A Love Story").
Plus, we have original fantasy by James Patrick Kelly ("Miss Nobody Never Was") and Siobhan Carroll ("The Correspondence Between the Governess and the Attic"), and fantasy reprints by William Browning Spencer ("The Foster Child") and Kit Reed ("Yard Sale").
All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with feature interviews with Jay Lake and Margaret Atwood.
For our ebook readers, we also have the novella "The Ballad of Bowsprit Bear's Stead" by Damien Broderick and novel excerpts of TWINMAKER by Sean Williams and ALIEN HONOR by Vaughn Heppner.
