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.

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.

Denvention 3 is the 66th Worldcon and the 2008 World Science Fiction Convention and, obviously, in Denver, Colorado; dates August 6th to 10th this year. With the help of Interzone’s US friends we will have a dealer stand at the convention.

We will sell Interzone and Black Static there at the unbelievably low price of $7 or $8. The local and State taxes along with exchange rate volatility make it difficult to decide immediately on pricing. I expect US readers think $8 is not ‘unbelievably low’ but it is less than the $12, or more, charged in their normal retail emporia. (more…)

In case you missed it, Black Static 4 and Interzone 216 are now available at Fictionwise.

Sam Tomaino’s review at SFRevu calls Black Static 4 “the best yet”.  He goes on to say “I loved the articles and all but one of the stories got a Very Good from me.”

Interzone 216 is our Mundane-SF Special issue,  with fiction selected by guest editors and Mundanistas Geoff Ryman, Julian Todd, and Trent Walters.  This issue features a story by Élisabeth Vonarburg, who will be the French-speaking Guest of Honor at Anticipation, the 2009 Worldcon in Montréal.

We organised this event with the library several weeks ago to try and publicize Interzone locally. I noised it around the internet and Tony, who has had 12 stories published in the magazine and one in the original Third Alternative very kindly agreed to help with a reading. (more…)
