Another month, and another set of magazines arrives in the store. In the July Clarkesworld we have fiction from Carrie Vaughn (“Astrophilia”), Sarah Stanton (“The Switch”) and Sunny Moraine (“Iron Ladies, Iron Tigers”). The Carrie Vaughn story is available in audio from Kate Baker, and the other two stories will follow later in the month.

I’m pleased to see Mark Cole back with an article on Hammer Horror movies. Jeremy interviews Nancy Kress. And Ekaterina Sedia contributes some thoughts on heroines in urban fantasy.

The cover is “Launch Day” from Romanian artist, “Cristi Balanescu”.

As usual the issue is available in the Wizard’s Tower store. I know the content is all available for free, but if you can afford to buy copies please do so as it helps keep the material free for everyone.

The new issue of Lightspeed is also in the store. That does have content that is exclusive to the ebook, and this month it is “Lune and the Red Empress”, a novella by Liz Williams and Alastair Reynolds. That’s an intriguing collaboration, and both Al and Liz have said how much they enjoyed writing it. It sounds well worth checking out.
