The 60th issue of the massively popular and multi Hugo award-winning online science fiction and fantasy magazine drops today. If you’re not into speculative fiction or the world of sci-fi and fantasy, you should start with Uncanny because it’s truly in a league of its own. If you are into all things speculative then you’re already jazzed that the latest issue drops today. People, this is huge, Hugo huge. They have seven Hugo awards and have been finalists and/or winners for other awards including Nebula, Locus, Sturgeon, and the World Fantasy Awards. Who is “they?” Why, Urbana’s own Lynne M. Thomas and Michael Damian Thomas, who together have created and sustained one of the most important sources for edgy, poetic, diverse, and perfectly uncanny literature on the web. I can’t wait to dive in. Join me. Here’s a sneak peek:
