About

Paradox publishes both historical fiction and science fiction antasy/horror with historical themes, as well as articles, news and reviews. Any time period is fair game, but the editor is particularly interested in pre-Industrial tales, especially those set in the ancient world and the Middle Ages and told from a broad spectrum of geographic and cultural perspectives.
