New In Store

~ Cheryl

The beginning of the month is always a busy time at Wizard’s Tower with new magazines coming out, but pride of place today goes to a small collection of short fiction. Tim Maughan will be known to most of you as the anime correspondent of Tor.com. To us in the south west of Britain, however, he’s one of the rising stars of the local fiction scene. Paintwork contains three stories that take digital technology to the streets. I bought a paper copy at BristolCon and am looking forward to reading it. In the meantime you can get the ebook version here.

As for those magazines, well I have already talked about Clarkesworld #62, which you can buy here.

Lightspeed #18 includes an interview with the one and only China Miéville plus fiction from, amongst others, Maureen McHugh and John Crowley.

Fantasy #56 includes fiction from Lavie Tidhar and Ellen Kushner (a reprint of a Riverside story). It also has a lovely cover (see below).

As always you can save £1 if you buy Lightspeed and Fantasy together.

  1. So… want to buy from the store for husband’s Christmas – he’s a hard SF reader by nature (Bear, Benford, Larry/Jerry/Steve, and the like) – recommendations from your store?

    :>

    1. Well you can’t go wrong with the Adam Roberts short story as it is so cheap (and also selling very well):

      A collection of Gardner Dozois short fiction should also fit the bill:

      And if he’ll read books by women, Linda Nagata is as good as it gets for hard SF. The Bohr Maker won a Locus First Novel Award, and there are three others in the series:

      1. Thanks! and as for books by women – that’s my bad in a quick listing of hard sf authors. He’ll read any well written story and truly couldn’t care less what the gender of the author is :>. I married well :>.

        Nagata, Dozois & Roberts sound grand! US Visa ok?

        1. Excellent. And yes, the store should take payment from any Visa or Mastercard. There’ll probably be a small currency conversion charge. I do so wish the store software would do multi-currency.

          1. I’m good with that – I think of it as a small donation to the cause – knowing what mullti-currency software would cost you ;>.
