Lightspeed Magazine, October 2013

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 Keffy R.M. Kehrli ("HELP FUND MY ROBOT ARMY!!!") and Ken Liu ("Ghost Days"), along with SF reprints by Constance Cooper ("Trouble Leaves a Scent Trail") and Kameron Hurley ("Enyo-Enyo").

Plus, we have original fantasy by Dylan Otto Krider ("The Five Deaths of Marvin Dimitri") and Charlie Jane Anders ("Small Dead Creatures"), and fantasy reprints by Karin Tidbeck ("Augusta Prima") and Neil Gaiman ("An Invocation of Incuriosity").

All that, and, of course, we also have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with feature interviews with Melissa Marr and über-geek Felicia Day.

For our ebook readers, we also have the novella "Human Readable" by Cory Doctorow and novel excerpts of PARASITE by Mira Grant, COPPERHEAD by Tina Connolly, and POE by J. Lincoln Fenn.
