AEon One
Posted by frankh at 8:35 AM
Here's the mundane rundown on the first issue of the eMagazine AEon, published in November 2004:
1) Short Story: A Mythic Fear of the Sea by Jay Lake -- fantasy
2) Novelette: Blood and Verse by John Meaney -- alien worlds
3) Short Story: The Russian Winter by Holly Wade Matter -- time travel
4) Short Story: Emerald City Blues by Steven R. Boyett [previously published in Midnight Graffiti, Fall 1988] -- fantasy
5) Short Story: Little House on the Accretion Disk by Gordon Gross -- cosmic, far future
6) Short Story: Talk of Mandrakes by Gene Wolfe [previously published in (or maybe just bought by?) Worlds of IF] -- "exobiology gone terribly wrong"
7) Novelette: Silver Land by Lori Ann White -- fantasy
8) Short Novel: Logs by Walter Jon Williams -- excerpt from space opera series
No mundane sf here. I don't really expect to find it on the margins, but that's appropriate since I think it belongs in the center of the field anyway. Now to find more in the center....

Frank,
Did you mean to list "far future" as a non-Mundane quality?
No, that was just descriptive. That story I saw as non-mundane because it was some sort of platform where "stars talk to each other" or something like that (whatever there were, they talked about their human origins). Maybe I should call it "post-transcendent far future" instead of "cosmic". I don't think anything like that is mundane sf.
Nah, that doesn't sound Mundane. I was just checking to see what you meant.
