Interzone 210

[Roy1]

In this bumper 72 page edition Harlan writes of the time when he shared a house/apartment with Ted Sturgeon. Harlan said, I paraphrase as I didn't tape his exact words, 'the mag is so good I had to get in it'.

Also Nick Lowe's top ten films of the past 25 years.

Interzone 210 will have an editorial by Geoff Ryman on 'Mundane SF' and will follow up next year with an issue dedicated to stories that fit the category.

I will post a cover image and more detail when I have it, meanwhile subscribe. You can't miss this issue.

Cover and all fiction graphics by Douglas Sirois, who is also profiled and interviewed (with more artworks from his portfolio). Doug also writes a brief introduction to each story detailing his thought and work processes, how he approached that particular assignment.

"Tearing Down Tuesday" by Steven Francis Murphy

Sorry I got Steven's name spelled wrong in the first entry.
As it is Steven's first sale, first publication it will take the shine off so I'm sorry.
