Still extremely worried about the whereabouts of overseas copies of Interzone 217, but Interzone 218 will go to press on schedule for an early September release. More details to follow, but it’s something of a Chris Beckett special with three stories, in-depth interview and a front cover illustrating one of those stories, art by Warwick Fraser-Coombe. Clicking it makes it grow.

All overseas subscriber and contributor copies of Interzone 217 should have arrived everywhere two weeks ago at the latest. However, we’re receiving reports of non-arrival in countries outside Europe. I hope these copies are just unacceptably delayed and not completely lost. If you’re still waiting please accept my apologies. Be assured that I’m trying very hard to get this sorted, one way or another. If you’re still waiting, please consider letting us know via the “IZ217 Overseas” thread on the Forum. Please visit that thread anyway for updates. Many thanks, and once again my apologies.

As Electronic Editions Editor for TTA Press, it is with great pleasure that I introduce Transmissions From Beyond: The TTA Press Podcast.

Transmissions From Beyond is the first podcast in the world by a major magazine publisher, offering short stories from the pages of its magazines in the following genres: science fiction & fantasy, horror, and crime. These come from Interzone, Black Static, and Crimewave both past and present.

The premiere of our podcast on Monday, 4 August 2008, offers three Transmissions. There’s one from each of our magazines. We lead off with a story from Interzone 212 called “The Algorithm” by Tim Akers, read by John Berlyne.

 There’s also a brand new forum for the podcast where you can discuss the stories and anything you’d like to say about our podcasts.

 So what are you waiting for?  Grab your headphones and head over to Transmissions From Beyond.

The following competitions to win Region 2 DVDs appear in Black Static 6. But you can enter now. Answer as many of the following questions as you like and email them, with your postal address, to competitions [at] ttapress [dot] demon.co.uk. Winners will be drawn from a hat on 30th August and announced on the forum. The only catch is that you must be a current Black Static subscriber. I think that’s only fair. Btw, despite a previous announcement on the forum we are holding back The Tattooist (release date 29th September) review and competition till Black Static 7. Read the rest of this entry »

Over Interzone’s 26 years several generations of new writers have emerged via its pages. Established authors – Moorcock, Bayley, Ballard, Aldiss, Carter, etc, helped IZ find its feet but within a few years Geoff Ryman, Kim Newman, Stephen Baxter, Greg Egan, Eric Brown and others were discovered so I’ll call them the first Interzone generation.
