First published 2018
This March 2018 issue of the Hugo and World Fantasy Award winning Clarkesworld magazine delivers fresh science fiction and fantasy from both emerging and established voices. The collection opens with five original stories spanning mimics that use tools, the weight of ancestral blood, maps of impossible places, a farewell to humanity's first man, and a girl who exists as no one encountering mystical shores. Two reprints round out the fiction: Kage Baker's tale of dragon affliction and Rich Larson's exploration of divine decay. The issue also features critical essays by Carrie Sessarego, a conversation with acclaimed author Jo Walton, Cat Rambo's regular column examining the craft of writing, and editor Neil Clarke's opening thoughts. Each monthly issue combines new discoveries with classic works, creating a snapshot of contemporary speculative fiction's range and ambition.
