The Next Issue of Electric Velocipede


I was quickly browsing through my archives when I noticed I haven't said anything about the next issue of Electric Velocipede. You can see the totally awesome cover by Thom Davidsohn above. I will also note that this is a double issue. Issues 15 and 16 have been combined together to make one super-issue; an Electric Velocipede Voltron if you will. All told, there's 164 pages of great speculative fiction!

The issue will sell for $12, but consider that a normal issue now runs $7, two issues for $12 sounds pretty sweet! Also, watch here, but I'll be having a sales event related to the new issue shortly. I'll have a pre-order button up over the weekend, but you can always PayPal $12 to me at editor@electricvelocipede.com.

To wet your whistle even further, here is the final line-up for the issue:

Novelettes:
Corey Brown - Child of Scorn
Claude Lalumière - Destroyer of Worlds
Darren Speegle - Strains of the Lost Oktober

Short Stories:
Olivia V. Ambrogio - Trades
Jayme Lynn Blaschke - A Plague of Banjos
Terry Bramlett - Sallie's Price
Sheila Crosby - Unreal Estate
Aliette De Bodard - The Dragon's Tears
Catherine Dybiec Holm - Detours
Robert J. Howe - Season of the Long Now
Alex Dally MacFarlane - Two Coins
Michael Neal Morris - Partita for continuo
Michelle Muenzler - She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Timothy Mulcahy - The Tree Reader
Patrick O'Leary - The Oldest Man on Earth
Erin Pringle - The Floating Order
Alistair Rennie - A Doom of My Own
Patricia Russo - Sitting Round the Stewpot
William Shunn - Timesink
Leslie Claire Walker - The Devil Wears Combat Boots
Jonathan Wood - Notes on the Dissection of an Imaginary Beetle

Poetry:
Catherine Edmunds - Installation
David C. Kopaska-Merkel - Cher Amazon
Shira Lipkin - Wool and Silk and Wood
Rachel V. Olivier - Homemade Rosewater
Rachel V. Olivier - The Story
Terrie Lee Relf - on realizing death is a man

This is a very strong issue, and you'd feel stupid if you missed it.

A fantastic lineup, and goddamn is that cover gorgeous. Thom Davidsohn in color! I can't wait.

Egads, what an awesome cover! I've been reading your posts over at the Tor blog, and I think the time has come (next payday, that is) to splurge for a subscription.

Good Lord that cover is pretty. Sounds like a super issue. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Every time I look at the cover I can't get over how pretty it is, and not in the girly pretty sense (though there's nothing wrong with that). It's just really cool.

Thanks everyone! I think giving Thom free reign in color is the way to go, too.
