Space & Time No. 125: Spring 2016

Space & Time Issue 125: Spring 2016 rises over a strange lunar horizon into gods, monsters, time loops, ancient machines, dangerous gifts, lost daughters, alien thought, and the beautifully bizarre heart of speculative fiction.

Published during Space & Time’s 50th anniversary year, this issue continues the magazine’s long tradition of fantasy, horror, science fiction, poetry, and weird literature from established voices and emerging talents. From its moonlit cosmic cover to its stories of myth, memory, politics, technology, and transformation, Issue 125 offers classic magazine adventure with a sharp modern edge.

Inside, readers will find a reluctant raconteur facing the grotesque truth behind an ancient god, a Medusa-blooded woman reclaiming her power in a bar full of mythic descendants, revolutionary intrigue in a future Havana, a president trapped in repeated State of the Union revisions, and an immortal Imhotep guarding Egyptian automata.

This issue features “The Sadly Only Mildly Dramatic Tale of Sijo Uthwen” by Scott H. Andrews, “The Pick-up” by Justin R. Lawfer, “Adelio’s Window” by James O’Brien, “State of the Union” by Michael Haynes, “They Came Bearing Dangerous Gifts” by Christine Lucas, “Frank’s Head” by Wess Worth, “Xed” by Robert Pritchard, “The Sound of Breaking Glass” by Thomas Broderick, and “Jack Liberty’s Son” by DJ Cockburn.

Readers will also find poetry by Christina Sng, Michelle Scalise, T. K. Lawrence, Anthony Alan Brown, Beth Cato, G. O. Clark, Kristin Kirby, Anshuman Reddy, Jacob Haddon, Prof. Yunsheng Jiang, and more, along with Hildy Silverman’s Editor’s Geeble, Linda D. Addison’s Word Ninja, Daniel M. Kimmel’s “Aliens Among Us,” Sam Tomaino’s review of The Kabrini Message, and Stephen Euin Cobb’s feature on the Odyssey Writing Workshop with Jeanne Cavelos.

For readers who love speculative fiction with old-school wonder, literary wit, mythic danger, political bite, and cosmic imagination, Space & Time Issue 125 is a spring portal into the weird, the clever, and the unforgettable.



The moon is watching. The strange is waiting.
