Lightspeed Magazine, Issue 76 (September 2016)

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.<br /><br />This month, we have original science fiction by Sean Williams ("The Lives of Riley") and An Owomoyela ("Unauthorized Access"), along with SF reprints by Charlie Jane Anders ("Power Couple (Or 'Love Never Sleeps')") and Alec Nevala-Lee ("Ernesto"). Plus, we have original fantasy by Maria Dahvana Headley ("See the Unseeable, Know the Unknowable") and Jaymee Goh ("Crocodile Tears"), and fantasy reprints by Tim Pratt ("The Wilderness Within") and Christopher Barzak ("What We Know About the Lost Families of ---- House"). All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author spotlights, along with our book and media review columns. For our ebook readers, we also have a reprint of the novella "Horn," by Peter M. Ball and an excerpt from Nisi Shawl's new novel, EVERFAIR.
