Subterranean #4 - Go Buy It!
Jul. 16th, 2006 12:56 pmI recently received my copy of Subterranean Magazine issue #4, guest-edited by John Scalzi. John’s idea was a magazine of science fiction clichés – not making fun of them, but playing with them in new and exciting ways. I’m here to tell you that he and the contributing authors succeeded brilliantly.
The folks over at Subterranean Press say the magazine is selling fast, so click here now and order a copy before they run out. Here's just a taste of the great stuff inside.
• The Third Brain by Charles Coleman Finlay and James Allison. These two writers tackle the old cliché of disembodied brains with a new wrinkle – one of the brains is psychic! This twist leads to romance and redemption for the lead character.
• The Last Science Fiction Writer by Allan Steele is a three-peat, mixing suspended animation, virtual reality and that old "how not to start a story" cliché of the writer sitting at his desk. Very entertaining.
• In his first professional sale, new writer Dean Cochrane’s The NOMAD Gambit gives us a lethal exploding computer. Yes, Star Trek fans, there is a connection between the title and the original series episode.
• Ron Hogan, a film scholar and author of The Stewardess is Flying the Plane!(1970’s disaster flicks) gives us In Search of Eileen Siriosa, a tasty gem of an alien abduction / Men In Black story, with a neat tie-in to Clint Eastwood.
In addition to these gems, Scalzi and Subterranean give us gems from Nick Sagan, a powerful debut story from David Klecha, and useful non-fiction from Teresa Nielson Hayden and John Joseph Adams. Order this today!
