Andy Cox, the editor of Interzone and Black Static, has sent me some exciting news: For a limited time, anyone who subscribes to 12 issues of either Interzone or the Interzone/Black Static combination can receive the Jason Sanford special issue for free!
As I've mentioned before, the upcoming issue of Interzone focuses on my fiction and contains three of my newest stories, an in-depth interview with me, and more. The issue will be published November 12th.
I highly recommend subscribing to Interzone and Black Static. Interzone is the best science fiction magazine in the world and I've been a subscriber for quite a while (well before they began publishing my stories). And as Ellen Datlow has said, Black Static is "the most consistently excellent horror magazine published." It's hard to argue with her assessment.
To receive this special offer, simply order a 12 issue (two-year) subscription to either Interzone or the Interzone/Black Static combination through the TTA Press online store. Then, in the Shopper’s Reference box, enter JASON SANFORD. That way you'll receive the special issue for free.
And as a note to overseas subscribers like myself, subscribing to 12 issues cuts down on your price because TTA Press sends out half those issues without any added shipping costs. Add in another free issue and you can't beat this deal.
I don't know how long Andy plans to make this special offer, so I urge people to take him up on it. And if you need any more convincing, check out the promo flyer above and its illustrations from the upcoming issues of Interzone and Black Static. Not only do these magazines publish some of the best short fiction in speculative literature, they're also the most beautifully designed.
I just got my first issue of Interzone and was floored, floored I tell you! I've never seen production values this high in a fiction mag. The stories could be utter drivel and I'd keep reading. The fact that they may very well be the most innovative pieces being published in spec fic takes it over the edge.

A shame then that I'm already subscribed... no wait, it isn't ;)
Looking forward to another high quality issue of Interzone, I can highly recommend it regardless of special "gift" like this. If you like good quality science-fiction reading, you won't be disappointed at all!

Blimey Adam, glad you appreciate Andy Cox's refusal to compromise on design and production! And I can promise we've worked hard to avoid an empirical test out your assertion: "the stories could be utter drivel and I'd keep reading" - for a start I think you'll be knocked out by Jason's three stories.
Hi Federico and hi George - thanks for your comments too. Hope you all enjoy the Jason Sanford special issue.
All the best ... Andy Hedgecock, co-editor (fiction), Interzone.
