Space & Time No. 131: Spring 2018

Space & Time Issue 131: Spring 2018 travels through strange futures, haunted hearts, impossible transformations, and the timeless pull of story.

Since 1966, Space & Time has published fantasy, horror, science fiction, poetry, and weird literature from the edges of imagination. This spring issue continues that legacy with a vivid mix of speculative fiction, poetry, genre commentary, and cosmic strangeness.

Inside, readers will find time-traveling poets, desert monsters, waterlogged survival, red-hooded terror, apocalypse, reconstruction, glittering danger, love and death, storks, impossible interiors, and a playful brush with Cthulhu. From dark fantasy and fairy-tale horror to science-fictional wonder and literary weirdness, Space & Time Issue 131 offers the magazine’s signature blend of the eerie, the intelligent, and the unexpected.

This issue features “The Shivaree Man” by Justin Short, “The Collector” by David J. Batista, “Red” by Christina Sng, “Reconstruction” by Jakob Drud, “All That Glitters” by John Sies, “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not” by Gary Frank, and “The Stork” by Martin Kee. Also included are works by Adele Gardner, Terry Persun, Melanie Rees, Francis W. Alexander, G. O. Clark, and more.

Readers will also find Hildy Silverman’s ReGeneration Who 2018 convention review, celebrating the world of Doctor Who and its enduring devotion to space, time, kindness, regeneration, and fandom; Daniel M. Kimmel’s Take Two on the Movies column; Sam Tomaino’s review of Maurice Broaddus’s The Voices of Martyrs; and Linda D. Addison’s Word Ninja column.

For readers who love speculative fiction with teeth, imagination, dark humor, literary bite, and a deep affection for genre history, Space & Time Issue 131 is a spring portal into the weird and wonderful.



Time bends. Monsters stir. The stories are waiting.
