"It's a shame it's only a bi-annual" - Chronicle

ISSUE 1

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.

ISSUE 2

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

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.

ISSUE 4

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

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

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

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

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

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.

ISSUE 10

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.

ISSUE 11

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.

ISSUE 12

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!
