A Summer Special Magazine of Science Fiction

Join us on the beach with your plutonium powered bucket and spade.

We have some great new stories from great writers such as Gary Gibson and Holly Schofield; interviews with Ken MacLeod and Tricia Sullivan; a new column by BSFA award winning writer Ruth EJ Booth; poetry from Shelly Bryant and Benjamin Dodds. We have a fine selection of book reviews, a fresh Beachcomber, and our journey through classic Scottish science fiction continues with Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
