LIGHTSPEED is an online science fiction and fantasy magazine. In its pages, you will find science fiction: from near-future, sociological soft SF, to far-future, star-spanning hard SF--and fantasy: from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales.

We also have with SF reprints by Catherynne M. Valente and James Patrick Kelly . Our fantasy originals are from José Pablo Iriarte and Sarah Pinsker . Our fantasy reprints are by Joanna Ruocco and Roger Zelazny . All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author spotlights, along with our book and media review columns, and an interview with author Fonda Lee. For our ebook readers, our exclusive novella is by Will McIntosh . And of course we have a book excerpt just for our ebook readers, too--it's a snippet from THE NIGHT MARKET by Jonathan Moore.
