It’s time to take a gander at the November 1971 issue of Amazing #ScienceFiction Magazine. John Boston writes that we should run to grab it for an extraordinary letter alone… and some of the stories ain’t half bad. galacticjourney.org/october-12-1...

The cover of the November 1971 edition of Amazing Science Fiction Stories. Featured titles across the top are: The Wrong End of Time by John Brunner; In His Image by Terry Carr; Road Factory by W. Macfarlane; and To End All Wars by Gordon Eklund. Across the bottom is written: In Memoriam: John W. Campbell, by Sam Moskowitz. The illustration shows a humanoid robot with sticklike arms and legs, standing on a spherical surface. It is facing away from the viewer toward a series of tall rainbow-colored spires leaning at about a 60 degree angle along the horizon. A huge sun is half sunk behind the horizon, and a much smaller moon hangs above it to the left.

Cora Buhlert writes about the West German experience with drug culture, and reviews the Frankenstein monster of a film, Wenn mein Schätzchen auf die Pauke haut (When my Sweetheart Gets Loud), which shouldn’t work but somehow does. galacticjourney.org/october-10-1...

Poster for Wenn mein Schätzchen auf die Pauke haut. It depicts a white woman beating a large drum, from which a white man is leaping. It is part-drawn, part photograph.

Our "Who Am I? Sapphic Speculative Fiction of Identity & Purpose" anthology releases on Oct 30! Over the next few weeks we are highlighting the stories to give you a taste of the vibes to expect. Do you love watery, dark, ghostly tales? This is for you. @mac-bowers.bsky.social

A tile showing the Who Am I book cover, the authors name Mac Bowers, a quote from the story: “My love comes with the random rolling of the sea, brought in by a gentle tide and a southerly wind. I always wait for her, even though she tells me not to... She believes the sea to be a callous, fickle thing. But it sings to me, and brings her back to me...” and the story title "What The Tide Takes"

I no longer submit to magazines owned by MRM. I withdrew an accepted story from F&SF because I didn't want to deal with the contract issues.

I was wondering if Must Read Magazines (the owners of Asimov's, Fantasy & SF, and Analog) had improved. Seems not. This and the thread are must-reads for anyone thinking of sending stories or art to them. Reminder, that it is not the fault of the commissioning editors but the publications' owners.
