Critical acclaim for the first three issues of Black Gate continues to pour in. “These guys aren’t kidding around,” says Tangent Online of our third issue — “This heavy-duty volume, bigger than many trade paperbacks, is very classy.”

Our fiction, reviews and columns have been called “Incredible” (Indigenous Fiction), “Excellent” (SF Chronicle), and “Genuinely arresting” (Locus). And SFReader.com exclaimed “You won’t find a better looking or more professionally written pub…the literary standards, production value, and generously-heaped content of Black Gate are unparalleled.”

But don’t just take our word for it — read what the experts have to say. We’ve updated our reviews page with excerpts and links to six new in-depth reviews, from The Fix: The Review of Short Fiction, SF Site, SF Chronicle, and other fine publications. Enjoy!
