Space and Time Space & Time

Space & Time is a legendary speculative fiction magazine founded in 1966 by Gordon Linzner. As one of the oldest continuously published semi-pro speculative fiction magazines still in print, Space & Time carries nearly six decades of literary strange, publishing work that moves through science fiction, fantasy, horror, poetry, art, and the beautifully unclassifiable.

Today, Space & Time continues that legacy through curated monthly issues featuring themed speculative flash fiction and poetry from bold new voices and established authors alike. Past contributors and featured names include Jonathan Maberry, Alessandro Manzetti, Jessica Amanda Salmonson, Norman Spinrad, Jack Ketchum, Aliette de Bodard, and many more writers who have helped shape the imaginative edges of the field.

Each issue is available globally through retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Kobo, and more, with editions designed for a wider range of readers, including ebook, standard print, large print, and dyslexia-friendly print.

Rooted in history but always reaching toward the unknown, Space & Time remains a home for speculative work that disrupts, illuminates, unsettles, and transforms.
