Customer Reviews of Black Gate

Great magazine
This is a great, great publication. The editors have a remarkable ability to pick well written, interesting stories that span multiple genres and times. I have not read a bad story in the first seven issues and they also have interesting reviews of games and books. <

>My only complaint is that the issues are not published with the regularity expected of a major magazine. Still worth the price of a subscription but I find myself waiting very impatiently for the next issue.

Good magazine--fun stories
I especially liked that issue 6 printed a "classic." It was nice to be exposed to something from 1933. This issue also had a quick history of sci/fi--the types that were popular, the styles of a few early writers - an interesting read and it was a nice break from just another short story. I usually don't read magazines because out of one magazine, I find few stories I like--either they are too weird, too dark or not entertaining--especially those magazines that try to be too literary. This magazine was a fun read with variety.

Excellent Stories
Black Gate is a hefty (my latst issue was over 200 pages) magazine with lots of content. Most of it is dedicated to fantasy short stories in a variety of genres. There really is something for everyone whether your tastes tend toward horror, adventure, surreal, or classic fantasy. There are news and reveiws of the table-top gaming and comic fields, but nothing on TV, movies, or computer games for the most part. Publication is advertised as quarterly but has tended to be more sporadic.

In short, a great read, which deserves to be on the shelf of any serious and discerning fantay fan.
