Space and Time Spring/Summer 2023 #143

Fantasy • Horror • Science Fiction since 1966

Issue #143 of Space and Time delivers a powerful blend of dark fantasy, horror, speculative fiction, essays, and poetry. This visually minimalist issue is intentionally stripped of interior artwork to highlight a deeper message from the editorial team: the urgency of protecting books, art, and creative freedom in a time of widespread censorship.

Inside, readers will find an exciting range of original stories—ranging from supernatural westerns and seaside hauntings to post-apocalyptic romance—paired with genre commentary, film analysis, and award-winning poetry. Issue #143 showcases both emerging and established voices in speculative storytelling.
