FEBRUARY ISSUE

Our February issue is crammed full of ground-breaking and evocative tales. Paul McAuley’s February’s cover story is a profoundly moving coming-of-age tale about “The Choice” two young men have to make in a future that is not too far from our own time, yet utterly alien from today’s world. The art for this unforgettable novella is by Paul Youll. The far future, and all its attendant weirdnesses, comes roaring “Out of the Dream Closet” in David Ira Cleary’s endlessly inventive new novelette. You’ll have to move fast to keep up with all the ideas piling into this remarkable story.

ALSO IN FEBRUARY

Have your passport ready for the next stop in February’s around-the-world tour. Sara Genge delivers a severe interpretation of “Waster Mercy” in the harsh desert of a future France. Tim McDaniel’s previous tales for us have been amusing short shorts. “Brother Sleep” strikes a different tone as a group of Thai college students begin to discover how gene tweaking will affect their future. The United States is barely recognizable in best-selling author Jeff Carlson’s hard-hitting “Planet of the Sealies.” Aliette de Bodard steps across cultures and off planet to reveal how uncompromising Aztec rituals could affect space travel and “Shipbirth” in an alternate reality. In the year that marks the fortieth anniversary of Bill Pronzini and Barry N. Malzberg’s collaborations, this dynamic duo’s latest endeavor examines just how disposable our possessions and our lives can be when it’s “The Eve of Beyond.”
