	Lightspeed Magazine, January 2012 by: Anne McCaffrey publisher: John Joseph Adams, published: 2011-12-27 ASIN: B006T5JRV8 sales rank: 28546	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. In our January 2012 issue—the first showcasing our new format, which incorporates our sister magazine Fantasy—we have original science fiction by Megan Arkenberg (“How Many Miles to Babylon?”) and Ken Liu (“The Five Elements of the Heart Mind”), plus SF reprints by Paul McAuley (“Gene Wars”) and Nancy Kress (“Always True to Thee, in My Fashion”). Plus, we have original fantasy stories by Marissa Lingen (“On the Acquisition of Phoenix Eggs (Variant)”) and Sarah Monette (“Blue Lace Agate”), and fantasy reprints by M. Rickert (“You Have Never Been Here”) and Aimee Bender (“A State of Variance”). All that plus feature interviews with bestselling author Neal Stephenson and award-winning author R. A. MacAvoy, and our usual assortment of author spotlights. And, for our ebook readers, our ebook-exclusive novella this month is a tribute to a science fiction legend who recently passed away: We’ll be reprinting the Hugo Award-winning novella “Weyr Search” by Anne McCaffrey, the first in her iconic Dragonriders of Pern series, plus we’ll have a memorial by her son—and collaborator—Todd McCaffrey.

	Lightspeed Magazine, December 2010 by: Lightspeed Magazine publisher: John Joseph Adams, published: 2010-12-01 ASIN: B006VOKV7G sales rank: 151668	Lightspeed Magazine is a monthly science fiction magazine that features all types of sf, from near-future, sociological soft sf, to far-future, star-spanning hard sf, and anything and everything in between: Our lead story this month, "In-fall," by Ted Kosmatka, puts us aboard a ship hurtling through space. Aboard this ship, two men--mortal enemies--await their inevitable deaths, although that means something very different for each of them. "The Observer," by Kristine Kathryn Rusch tells the story of a woman separated into various parts of herself. However, there's always a dominant side. And that side will do whatever it can in order to survive. After reading our third piece of fiction for the month, "Jenny's Sick" by David Tallerman, you might do a double take when you see your colleague coughing by the water fountain. A seasonal cold, he says, but are you certain that's the case? Maybe it's something more serious. For our final story this month, we present "The Silence of the Asonu" by Ursula K. Le Guin, which allows us a glimpse into a race of people that do not speak as we do, but have plenty of other ways to communicate, some which may be more powerful than our own.

	Fantasy Magazine, May 2011 by: John Joseph Adams publisher: John Joseph Adams, published: 2011-05-01 ASIN: B006U8XMH4 sales rank: 301700	Fantasy Magazine is an online magazine focusing exclusively on fantasy fiction. In its pages, you will find all types of fantasy—from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales…and anything and everything in between. Fantasy Magazine is entertainment for the intelligent genre reader—we publish stories of the fantastic that make us think, and tell us what it is to be human. Our May 2011 issue leads off with "Study, For Solo Piano," in which author Genevieve Valentine shines the spotlight on what it means to yearn for beauty and love in a cruel post-apocalyptic world. In the related nonfiction, Stephen A. Watkins explains how the fantasy archetypes we all know and love transform when they’re steampunked in “Now Hiring in the Airship Lounge.” A stick-man comes to life and a boy struggles to reconcile his Sunday School education with experience in Jeffrey Ford's "Creation." From legends of golems to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, people have long sought the secret of giving the inanimate life. Alex Irvine explores the history of these creations in his article "Man-Made Men." In "The Devil in Gaylord's Creek," Sarah Monette gives us a feisty teen action heroine who's tattooed, undead, and read to kick some serious paranormal monster butt. Buffy would totally approve. What would you do if you had to face down the devil? Heather Shaw lays out advice for those of us who aren't teen action heroes in her article "Five Ways to Trick the Devil." Violence breeds vengeance in "Sandmagic," Orson Scott Card's tale of a young man orphaned by political turmoil. His search for retribution takes him into the heart of the desert—and into the realm of dangerous magic. Matt London lifts the veils on the creation of hit video game Dragon Age II in our feature interview with Senior Writer David Gaider and Associate Producer Heather Rabitach.
