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, our cover art is by Reiko Murakami, illustrating a new science fiction story by John Grant . We also have a new story from E. Catherine Tobler , along with SF reprints by Chris Beckett and James Tiptree, Jr. . Plus, we have original fantasy by Alvaro Zinos-Amaro & Adam-Troy Castro and Debbie Urbanski , and fantasy reprints by A.G. Howard and Will Ludwigsen . Our nonfiction department is serving up our monthly book review column, as well as Carrie Vaughn's assessment of the new Wonder Woman movie. Speaking of Carrie, we're also giving our readers a chance to really get to know her, as she's the subject of this month's feature interview--and if you're an ebook reader, you can get a little taste of her new novel, BANNERLESS, out this month from John Joseph Adams Books. Our ebook edition also has a reprint of the novella "From Whence You Came," by Laura Anne Gilman. You'll also get a bonus excerpt from AN OATH OF DOGS, by our own Wendy N. Wagner.
