Lightspeed Magazine, Issue 150 (November 2022) - Lightspeed Magazine, #150

LIGHTSPEED is a digital science fiction and fantasy magazine. In its pages, you will find science fiction: from near-future, sociological soft SF, to far-future, star-spanning hard SF--and fantasy: from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales. Welcome to issue 150 of LIGHTSPEED! For the last few years, every science fiction writer has wondered: When will it be okay to write a story about a pandemic? But I think we can all agree that disease has been with us for all of human history, and that ignoring it does nothing to make anyone feel better.
So we're kicking off this issue with Tania Fordwalker's new short story "Beyond the Shore." It's certainly about a pandemic .
