Recommended Reading: Fantasy Magazine

[roseembolism]

Truth to say, I generally have limited patience with online magazines in the SF/Fantasy field, which range from insipid like io9, to glorified advertisements for a hard-copy product like Asimov's.  I've been disappointed a lot in the past by lack of content and production values.

So it's nice to recommend a really cool  find, such as Fantasy Magazine.  Fantasy Magazine is a fairly new magazine, only a little more than a year and a half old, and is free of subscriptions or charges.  It has a very clean, easy-to-navigate appearance, a nice literary review section, book previews, some thoughtful articles, and best of all a short-story section.

The short story section is what really drew me to this magazine. since the stories I read are short enough to be read in a break, and have a high surrealistic literary quality that I appreciate.  We're not talking about fanfic.net here; these are damn good professional vignettes and short stories.  Stories such as...a giant meeting an angel, and it's nothing like what you might think; Helios being left at the alter by a woman with second thoughts about marrying her career interest; letters from a dead woman trying to prevent her murder...

There's also news, and editorials, and interviews, and more than enough to keep even a short-attention span reader like me happy.  But go have a look at it: I don't think you'll regret it- after all, it's really free.
