Interzone #253 Jul - Aug 2014 (Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine)

The July–August issue of the British Fantasy Award winning magazine contains D.J. Cockburn's 2014 James White Award winning story and other new stories by James Van Pelt, Andrew Hook, Neil Williamson, E. Catherine Tobler and Caren Gussoff. The cover art is by Wayne Haag, and interior colour illustrations from Richard Wagner, Martin Hanford and Daniel Bristow-Bailey. All the usual features are present: Ansible Link by David Langford (news and obits); Mutant Popcorn by Nick Lowe (film reviews); Laser Fodder by Tony Lee (DVD/Blu-ray reviews); Book Zone: reviews of many latest releases and features Matthew S. Dent's interview with John Joseph Adams before finishing with Jonathan McCalmont's Future Interrupted column.

So Interzone is essentially a fiction magazine containing short science fiction and fantasy stories. But it covers other aspects of the genre via comment, news, reviews of books, movies, DVDs and TV.
