The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, founded in 1949, is the award-winning SF magazine which is the original publisher of SF classics like Stephen King's Dark Tower, Daniel Keyes's Flowers for Algernon, and Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. Each 160 page issue offers:
compelling short fiction by writers such as Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, Terry Bisson and many others;
the science fiction field's most respected and outspoken opinions on Books, Films and Science;
humor from our cartoonists and writers.

Gordon Van Gelder has put together theme anthologies culled from the pages of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Copies, signed by the Editor, are available by either choosing the PayPal buttons or by using your credit card on our secure server.

Our new issue kicks off with a new story about Detective Sergeant Alphonse Fournet of New Orleans. We thought you'd enjoy his first appearance, so here's "Queen for a Day," reprinted from our October/November 2001 issue. Please note that the characters in this story use some earthy language and there are adult situations in the story.

In addition to our fiction, each issue features:
book reviews by Charles de Lint, Elizabeth Hand, James Sallis and Michelle West
Curiosities which looks at odd books of enduring interest
humor by Paul Di Filippo and film commentary by Kathi Maio or Lucius Shepard
You can find a full list on our Departments page where there are links to all of our online material.

If you have a question about the magazine, we have provided links to a number of information pages.
