While Jonathan is busy visiting Seaforth and recording what he finds, Alan took the time to review Parsec #14 - another superb issue with great stories by Adam Roberts, Mike Cobley, Teika Smits, Dave Hutchinson AND MORE!

Lots of discussion lately about increased interest in short fiction, and we love that. We have 25 years of horror, dark fantasy, and science fiction stories for you to read. And we would love to do 25 more, if you can help. kck.st/4mIkEm1

Alan reviews the latest edition of the excellent @shoreinf.bsky.social‬ - Omniscient computers, ghosts in machines, and cellular communication all crop up in this edition of Shoreline, and there seems to be a loose theme of lives that take place within non-corporeal and hidden states.

I’m not saying you should give all your money to support the short fiction magazines we highlight, but…. Would you consider it? Here’s another excellent one for your consideration!

Well this looks like great fun and has a wonderful line up. Support shot fiction if you can!

Strange Horizons is getting close to their goal, back them to get another year of stories from this fine Hugo winning zine.

Behind the news, but do please consider supporting BCS, or any of the other fine short fiction magazines that are out there struggling for support and/or readers.

Interzone #301 An upsettingly late review of a brilliant issue of Interzone. Stand out stories by Corey Jae White and Ashley Stokes.

So late, so late. Just finishing off my review of @interzone.press #301 and #302 is already out! Short version is - it's fab. Particularly recommend amazing stories by @coreyjwhite.com and @ashleystokes.bsky.social which I have struggled to do justice to in the review. Pls standby

The Creator by Aliya Whiteley (Newcon Press 2025) The new novella by 2025 BSFA award-winner Aliya Whiteley is expertly written – it's a pastiche of those mid-century country house novels married to a couple of pulpy genre plots, and it all fits together really well. There’s not a moment wasted…

Mythaxis #41 – Spring 2025 Some strong stories in the latest edition of Mythaxis.

A Tiding of Magpies / Pete W. Sutton. One of the questions I ask when reviewing a single author anthology is ‘what’s special about it?’ There are plenty of story collections that are perfectly good but nonetheless fail to create that frisson of intrigue that makes them shine. In Pete W. Sutton's A…

Alan really enjoyed the latest issue of WYLDBLOOD magazine. Find out which stories stood out by reading our latest review.

After the Christmas holidays and the new-year slump, Alan gets back in the saddle with a review of the most recent issue of Parsec.

It seems that Supernova has been longlisted in the Best Short Non Fiction category of the @bsfa.bsky.social awards. Thank you to whoever nominated us, we really appreciate it.

So sad to see another short fiction magazine closing. Hexagon published a lot of great stories, which takes a lot of energy and effort, we salute them for all of their hard work across 20 issues.

Today's short fiction recommendation: "Loneliness Universe" by @foxesandroses.bsky.social published by @uncannymagazine.bsky.social It is beautifully warm, terrifyingly sad, achingly familiar. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/lone...

Supernova reviews have been quiet the last few months but we have some new posts on their way today and tomorrow. I hope to make us more active with short fiction recs on this account, but don't hold me to it!

Latest reviews over here at Supernova. Two stories from @interzone.digital. ‘Amber Alert’ by Alex Souza and 'The Barricade' by Joyce Ch'ng. supernova.reviews/2024/07/06/i...

It’s a goddamn shame that short speculative fiction is at its creative peak now, when its markets are in economic shambles. I wish 1920s-80s levels of SFF money were available now to finance beautiful and gay and provocative genre fic, instead of during the libertarian-punches-his-way-to-Mars era.
