| July Issue |
Our lead story for July continues Brian Stableford’s occasional series following the outrageous exploits of several famed Elizabethan personalities during humanity’s introduction to the alien (not to mention strange) Universe. In the latest installment, we leave the humid nightmares of “Doctor Muffet’s Island” behind, and, returning to England, find alchemist and charlatan Thomas Kelley in a peculiar position when his usual fraudery becomes chilling reality thanks to the mysterious powers of “The Philosopher’s Stone”!

Also In July
|
July also features the return of one of the genre’s finest talents, Michael Bishop, with his haunting allegory on the loss of a loved one, “Vinegar Peace, or, The Wrong-Way Used-Adult Orphanage”; R. Neube returns with a funny and scathing take on the complications of love in a tightened-belt society of interplanetary colonists in “Cascading Violet Hair”; Gord Sellar, making a memorable Asimov’s debut, takes us on a long, strange trip around the Solar System with an unlikely cadre of jazz legends in “Lester Young and the Jupiter’s Moons’ Blues”; Kij Johnson submits a clever meditation on the fleeting nature of human (and simian) happiness in “26 Monkeys, also the Abyss”; and Steven Utley contributes the latest in his “Silurian Tales” sequence with the frightfully cold equations of “The Woman Under the World.”
