Interzone Sampler
Filed under General • 08-11-2009 •
Writing on Jeff Vandermeer’s blog, Jason Sanford puts in a good word for the UK SF&F magazine Interzone.
Gardner Dozois has called Interzone “the best looking SF magazine,” and it’s hard to disagree. But as good as their design is, the writing is even better. I love their fiction, and find their reviews and nonfiction articles to be the best in the business.
He backs up this view by linking to four sample stories from the magazine – three of which are past winners of the magazine’s annual readers’ poll for best short story of the year.
- Mercurio D. Rivera’s “Longing for Langalana” (PDF download). Also available in a podcast. Winner, 2006 Interzone Readers’ Poll.
- Gareth L. Powell’s “Ack-Ack Macaque” (podcast). Winner, 2007 Interzone Readers’ Poll.
- Jason Sanford’s “When Thorns Are The Tips Of Trees” (PDF download). Winner, 2008 Interzone Readers’ Poll.
- Eugie Foster’s “Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast” (reprinted in Apex Magazine).
