.:ELECTRIC VELOCIPEDE:. Back Issues

The premiere issue. The one that started it all. The design is different, but the quality is there. Stories from Alex Irvine, Shane Tourtellotte, and James Hartley among others. Poetry from Steve Sawicki, Mark Rich, and B. A. Chepaitis.

The second issue, the second issue to sell out. A perfecty follow-up to an auspicious beginning. Jeff VanderMeer, Rick Bowes, Norman Partridge, and Harold Gross' story "Wreckage," which made the Recommended Reading list for The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, 16th Annual Edition. Poetry from Kevin L Donihe, and Mark Rich.

Issue #3, the first issue to sell out. Featuring excellent work from Neal Barrett, Jr., Brendan Connell, Vincent Sakowski, Christina Sng, and Kevin L. Donihe. This issue was put together while I was out of work for a while, so it has some special meaning to me. I was glad that I could continue to make the zine even with my home situation awry.

A new year, and a new design. The beginning of the current look of Electric Velocipede. Stellar writing from Jay Caselberg, Stepan Chapman, William Shunn, Beth Adele Long, and Mark Rich. Poetry from Christina Sng and John Rubins.

Issue #5 is the giant 56-page issue; nearly double the size of a normal issue. Featuring fiction from Paul DiFilippo, Michael Kanaly, Rick Klaw, James Hartley (aka Jay Caselberg), and many others. Poetry from Christina Sng, Christopher Hivner, and Marie Kazalia.

Issue #6 was called "Very impressive" by Locus. Great fiction from the likes of Liz Williams, Stepan Chapman, William Shunn, Jay Lake, Alan DeNiro, and more! It probably goes without saying that there are some design changes to the issue. First issue made by Paradise Copies. Solid, professional-looking issue. This is also the first issue to reflect the new price of $4 an issue and $15 for a four-issue subscription.

Issue #7 has great fiction from the likes of Liz Williams, Christopher Rowe, Sidewise-Award Winning author Chris Roberson, Mark Rich and others! Another solid, professional-looking issue. Debuted at Worldcon in Boston despite some miscommunication with the printer.

Issue #8 showcases the abilities of people like Charles Coleman Finlay, Liz Williams, and many more. More than half of the contributors are women, which is fitting as the issue was released in March, National Woman's Month.

Issue #9. Inside the stunning Thom Davidsohn cover is an amazing novelette from the red-hot Hal Duncan, as well as a spectacular piece from follow Scottish writer Neil Williamson. A nerve-burning tale from the talented Jay Caselberg will keep you up at nights. That, and so much more inside issue #9 of Electric Velocipede.

Another amazing cover from Thom Davidsohn is barely able to contain the force of the fiction held inside this issue. There are only six stories, but they are good. Fiction from Jeffrey Ford, Richard Bowes & Mark Rich, Robert Freeman Wexler, Tim Akers, Alistair Rennie, and Andre Oosterman.

Again, Thom Davidsohn's cover shines, hinting at the phenomenal stories within: Tobias Buckell (recommended story in Best American Fantasy), Edd Vick (reprinted in David Hartwell's Year's Best Science Fiction 12), Catherynne M. Valente, Liz Williams, Marly Youmans, and more.

Thom Davidsohn art + Robots = Teh Awesome! Stories from Bruce Holland Rogers, Jay Caselberg, Brendan Connell, with poems by Bruce Boston and Megan Messinger, as well as much, much more!

Cover by Steven Wilson of My Elves Are Different. Fiction by KJ Bishop, Marly Youmans, Claude Lalumière, Rachel Swirsky, Marie Brennan, and more.

Issue #14 debuted at Wiscon 32, May 22 - 26, 2008. Wiscon, if you didn't know, is the world's largest feminist science fiction convention. So I thought it only right to have an issue featuring all female contributors that could debut at the convention. The cover is by Lisa Snellings-Clark (see it larger here. Contributors are Lida Broadhurst, Karen Joy Fowler (who braved our Blindfold Taste Test), Erin Hoffman, Elissa Malcohn, Lisa Mantchev, Tracie McBride, Sandra McDonald, Melissa Mead, Penelope O’Shea, Jennifer Pelland, Sara Saab, Michelle Scott, Sonya Taaffe, Leslie Claire Walker, D. E. Wasden, Leslie What, Sharon E. Woods, and Erzebet YellowBoy. This is an extra-big issue at 100 pages!

Issue #15/16, our first double issue, 164 pages and almost 100,000 words of content! Featuring an amazing color wraparound cover from T. Davidsohn. There's also fiction from people like Patrick O'Leary, Patricia Russo, William Shunn, Rachel Swirsky, and more. Lucius Shepard takes our Blindfold Taste Test this issue. The issue debuted at the 2008 World Fantasy Convention in Calgary, Oct 30 - Nov 2, 2008.

Issue #17/18, another jam-packed double issue! Great stories and poetry from people like Richard Bowes, KJ Bishop, Chris Roberson, Marly Youmans, Jay Lake, and so many more! Another great cover from Thom Davidsohn.
