Product Description

Amazon is thrilled to offer Kindle fantasy and science-fiction fans the magazine that Stephen King calls "the best fiction magazine in America."

Founded in 1949, Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine is the award-winning original publisher of such classics as Stephen King's Dark Tower, Daniel Keyes's Flowers for Algernon, and Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. Each bimonthly issue offers compelling short fiction by writers such as Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Terry Bisson, along with the science-fiction field's most respected and outspoken opinions on books, films and science--plus a dash of humor from our cartoonists and writers.


For your convenience, issues are auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle at the same time the print edition hits the newsstand. This magazine does not necessarily reflect the full print content of the publication.

I was an avid reader and subscriber to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction for over a decade, until I bought a Kindle. As many Kindle users have also found, once you start reading on this device you never want to go back to paper. Enough about the Kindle, though, since the magazine itself is what is important.

I feel that the magazine itself is a gem. It contains many short stories per issue that for me are the perfect size to read just before falling to sleep or while waiting in a doctors office. I have found the editorial quality to be top notch, so I'm rarely disappointed with a story, and even in those rare times where one doesn't excite me, I still consider the value of the magazine to worth the price.

I also find the mix of fantasy versus science fiction to be about where I'd like. I have found that I don't enjoy a magazine that is purely science fiction nearly as much as I would have thought, so the fantasy breaks it up enough to keep me interested. The stories range so much, from silly to deeply thought provoking that there is something for everybody.

I just picked up the newest issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction at Hastings a couple of weeks ago and it has some great stories in it. I especially liked The Ants of Flanders by Robert Reed, Bronsky's Dates with Death by Peter David, and especially The Ramshead Algorithm by KJ Kabza! If you're a fan of quality science fiction you should subscribe!

It is with sad and heavy heart I am ending my sub to this edition of F&SF. I found out from Amazon support that you can only keep the last 7 issues of magazines. Sure, you can click that 'keep it longer' button, BUT if you ever buy another Kindle, it won't work on it. The issue is ONLY good on the Kindle you bought it on. Think about it, the Kindle you own now won't last forever. One day it will go bad, or you will want to upgrade to a new one. Worse, you can't read magazines or blogs on your Kindle app, such as Kindle for PC. Also you can forget about backing up the files on your PC for transfer to a new Kindle later. Now this might be fine for a current events magazine like Time, but we SF reads like to SAVE our magazines. Good SF is forever, and not everything gets re-printed. All the above applies to ALL the SF mags here on Amazon, Analog, Asimov's, Clarke's, and F&SF. If you want to keep your magazines, buy a paper copy. Way to screw up, Amazon.
