Lawrence Dagstine: Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror

At first I wasn’t sure about this new print publication which combines the best of four or five worlds for writers of speculative fiction and horror.  I’ll admit, I was a little sketchy.  So I had sent them a reprint.  The magazine is called 7th Dimension Magazine, and they pay… Well, $7.00 for fiction.  They had advertised [...]

The latest issue of NOVA Scifi, No. 20, is finally available.  NOVA SF is easily one of the best hard, soft, or religious scifi magazines available today in the smaller presses.  Like England’s Jupiter SF (www.jupitersf.co.uk), the stories won’t let you down.  NOVA SF #20 is my third appearance within their pages.  I am also, for the 3rd or 4th time [...]

I have a story up in the current edition of ‘The Opinion Guy’ (a.k.a. OG’s Speculative Fiction).  The editor is Seth Crossman, and he runs a very nice quarterly SF publication.  I highly recommend it.  Past contributors have included such poets and authors as Kristine Ong Muslim, Karen Romanko, and Angeline Hawkes.  And yes, I’m on [...]

I was just informed that THE WILLOWS MAGAZINE, Issue #3, November 2007 is now available.  I’m one of the Feature Authors this month, along with many others.  If you like Weird Tales, then The Willows will definitely be up your alley. I see I made front cover, too.  Cool.

I am very impressed with the stories in this one.  It’s a ‘4theLUV’ print market put out by Editor Chris Pisano of Fortress Publishing Inc., but still it’s NICE.  It’s only $4.00 and the overall quality, author line-up, and stories are great.  You’ll recognize most of the names below:

I have a small correction to make to one of my late October blog entries.  Acceptances 279 and 280 will go to the following Sam’s Dot Publishing PRINT publications next year.  The editor just emailed me this evening.  Both stories are reprints.  The change would be for a publication called SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT (link to [...]

I just got home a little while ago from an exhausting – but memorable and fun – 36-hour jaunt of trick-or-treating with the baby, then watching a slew of horror DVDs at a family member’s house.  It’s amazing how many parents were out with their kids dressed up for the holiday.  The last time I went trick-or-treating was twenty years [...]
