Looking for a good Fantasy mag without the Sci-Fi

Nakor · 03-08-2010, 08:19 PM

I'm a big fantasy fan but was never much into sci fi*. I was wondering if there are any fantasy magazines out there in eBook land that are pure fantasy and no (or little) sci-fi.

*Except steampunk, which is awesome.

How about Black Gate magazine? It's a print magazine (and a chunky one, too), but it is now available as a PDF.

The main site:

Nice, looks like they even have samples online. I'll have to read through some when I get a few. Thanks for the tip!

Nakor you might try the following ones: Weird Tales, and Realms Of Fantasy. I find them all to be very good. If you like horror fantasy you might want to check out H P Lovecraft's Magazine Of Horror.

The online ones come and go quite a bit.

You might find http://www.duotrope.com/ useful, it's mostly for writers to find fiction markets butit's useful for hunting out online fiction magazines. You cna search by genre but you'll need to do a little browsing to find which ones are fantasy specific.

Thanks for the tips. Realms of Fantasy does seem to be my style, I'll have to check that one out; pity its only eBook version is Kindle, but I'm not wholly opposed to ink on paper either. The Duotrope site looks promising as well.

This isn't a magazine, but I would suggest Year's Best Fantasy series of anthologies. I read their SF series and it is good.

They collect fantasy short fiction from many different magazines and include some short discussions on where to find more from the included authors.
