slipstream What Happens Next by Jude-Marie Green
"...all they gotta do is talk, stand on the dais like some big awkward scarecrow or straddle the bar stool, or hell, kneel if they want, the floor's swept daily; all those daft tellers gotta do is tell."
science fiction Deadnauts by Ted Kosmatka

"I think about that a lot, about what happens if you die in cryo. I wasn't religious before I started the journey, but here, hung among the stars, religion has found me. I wonder if this, too, is a sign of brain damage."

fantasy Winner by Kyri Freeman
"I took the thong off over my head and let the stone, a spearhead-shaped piece of green serpentine, swing like a pendulum. Nothing warned me. Only fear lurked deep in my gut and wouldn't leave."

"Although feminist science fiction has been thriving for thirty years, its role as an oppositional literature means that it will almost never be mainstream enough to attract an audience that makes works best-selling blockbusters..."

"You know, I'm not trying to hammer people over the head with this whole diversity thing, it's more an attempt to redress the casting that has traditionally been done. The sense of wonder is what drew me to SF/F in the first place. I think of literature as the dreams of humanity: humanity processing where it's been, where it is, what's happening to it. "

this quarter

With this issue, we pause to compare hope and despair, and scatter both with a liberal hand.

Jude-Marie Green offers a voice rarely heard in "What Happens Next." Our second author, Ted Kosmatka, provides a what-if scenario that chills the soul in his tale, "Deadnauts", while Kyri Freeman takes us to the racetrack for her dose in "Winner." Our poets take a turn, too. Rachel Swirsky shares hope turned inward in "Inside Her Heart", as Marsheila Rockwell walks the line between hope and despair in "Those Who Wait." Meanwhile, Jessica Paige Wick offers "The Root King's Daughter", visiting a father's despair.

Finally, Sean Melican not only shares his opinions on his latest reads, he's interviewed Tobias S. Buckell!
