Lots of exciting magazine news in late October. D.M. Ritzlin has launched an intriguing new publication that promises to review the best in forgotten fantasy, Scrolls of Legendry, and the first issue more than lives up to that promise. Contributing Editor Rich Horton checked in with his latest Retro-review, a look at the October 1960 issue of Amazing Stories, with classic stories by Clifford Simak and A. Bertram Chandler. Donald Crankshaw shared the good news of a new market for short fiction, the upcoming Christian anthology Mysterion, and Fletcher Vredenburgh and Learned Foote review the best new fiction in Clarkesworld, Swords and Sorcery Magazine, and Grimdark.
Check out all the details on the magazines above by clicking on the each of the images. Our October Fantasy Magazine Rack is here.
As we’ve mentioned before, all of these magazines are completely dependent on fans and readers to keep them alive. Many are marginal operations for whom a handful of subscriptions may mean the difference between life and death. Why not check one or two out, and try a sample issue? There are magazines here for every budget, from completely free to $12.95/issue. If you find something intriguing, I hope you’ll consider taking a chance on a subscription. I think you’ll find it’s money very well spent.
