New Releases by Scott Edelman

DreamForge is an independent, small press Magazine of positive Science Fiction and Fantasy. Our goal is to publish fiction and commentary that embody, in one way or another, these essential principles: integrity and decency, compassion and creativity, intelligence and inventiveness, the rule of law and liberty under the law, the dignity of the individual, and the power of synergy to unleash the potential of disparate individuals and communities for the betterment of all. We do not subscribe to hopelessness or futility as a vision of the future or of any setting or situation. In all worlds and times, our tales revolve around those individuals and groups who bring meaning and value to the world, whose actions are of consequence, and whose dreams are the vanguard of things to come. Whether you call that Solarpunk, Hopepunk, or just DreamForge stories, you''ll find them here. Time and space are indifferent to our existence, yet without our struggles to bring it meaning, the whole of the cosmos is irrelevant. Inside each mind waits a universe. We can be the creators that dream the world. In Issue #10, we have some amazing authors. Grant Carrington began publishing SF with "Night-Eyed Prayer" for Amazing in May 1971. Marisca Pichette has presented critical work at two International Conferences of the Fantastic in the Arts and will be presenting at the Once and Future Fantasies Conference in Glasgow this summer. Scott Edelman has published more than 100 short stories, is an eight-time Stoker Award finalist and a four-time Best Editor Hugo Award nominee. Bruce Boston''s poetry and fiction have appeared in hundreds of publications, including Asimov''s SF, Analog, and Amazing Stories. And so much more. Dig in!

Halloween: a night when the dead roam freely among the unsuspecting living. When the boundary between reality and fantasy, between this world and the next, is as thin as paper mache. When monsters real and imagined stalk the shadows, seeking easy prey. All Hallow''s Eve: a night to hide behind your best mask, lock your door, and keep your Jack-o''-lantern burning till dawn. Because something is knocking at the door, kiddies...and it''s very hungry. Demon''s Dreaming Presents: Something Good to EatFeaturing stories from Bev Vincent, Scott Edelman, James Newman, Elizabeth Eve King, Jane Nightshade, Ingrid Taylor, Bryan Miller, Wendra Chambers, Clint Smith, Joshua Strnad, Rebecca Rowland, Sarah Hans, CM Saunders, Hudson Wilding, Cristina Lombardi, Michael Leonberger
