Reviews for Unfit Magazine, Vol. 2 Top reviews Harvey Bentine 5.0 out of 5 stars Based on how good the first issue was, I’ve been anxious to read this, the second edition of Unfit. Turns out its full of fabulous speculative fiction short stories, both by well-known authors and relative newcomers. If that’s your thing, I’d grab a copy. Chris Padar 5.0 out of 5 stars If you like speculative fiction, pick up this collection of short stories. Volume 2 in the series is a home run. Fantastic authors bring some fantastic stories in this latest edition. My only complaint is that some of the worlds seem so rich and developed, that I felt the stories could be longer. Looking forward to where Unfit takes us in 2019. — Reviews are already starting to arrive! Check back here later for more. *This edition features: Ken Liu – Cat Rambo M. Yzmore – David R. Grigg – J.B. Toner Michael Merriam – Tim Major – Eric Del Carlo Amazon Please remember to leave a re...

Reviews for Unfit Magazine, Vol. 1 Top reviews MR CHRISTOPHER FIELDEN 5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this on Smashwords. Being a lover of sci-fi and fantasy, I felt I had to check it out, simply due to the calibre of authors that are featured in the magazine. A couple of the stories are reprints, dating back as far as the 60s, but most are contemporary, published for the first time. I enjoyed all of them. There is a timeless quality to the magazine and I'll be interested to see how it develops as more issues are published. Ann F 5.0 out of 5 stars These stories are all solid science fiction, with clever concepts and appealing characters. Not all of them have original concepts, but the writing is professional and atmospheric. one-five-one 5.0 out of 5 stars Like a lot of people, I grew up with Star Trek (the original series) and Star Wars (1977 wow factor!) so I love science fiction in all its forms however it does all feel rather 'samey' and constrained by ou...

Vol. 2 KEN LIU – CAT RAMBO M. YZMORE – DAVID R. GRIGG – MICHAEL MERRIAM J.B. TONER – TIM MAJOR – ERIC DEL CARLO Amazon Please leave a review! In Vol. 2 of Unfit, we take a closer look at the realms of cyberpunk and steampunk with a collection of stories which are both imaginative and convincing. In Cat Rambo’s post-apocalyptic story “An Algorithm For Fools” we look at the relationship between cats and survivors who struggle to make sense of a world on the edge of extinction. David R. Grigg brings us “The Great Circus Robbery” which takes place in a world where the internal combustion engine outpaces the steam engine. With “Toys, Going Home” by Eric Del Carlo, we follow the adventures of robot toys struggling to find their place in a world full of dangers. “Last Call on Lindisfarne” by J.B. Toner is sure to make you smile when pirates go up against an order of priests concocting a special brew in space. In “Fast Gliding Down the Rails” Michael Merriam gives us a...

Vol. 1 David Brin – Robert Silverberg – Jerry Oltion – David R. Grigg Emily Devenport – Eric Del Carlo Joe Taylor – Bruce Golden Ebook Edition Paperback Edition Please remember to leave a review! This magazine is the first in what will hopefully be a really long series. As I’m writing this, Vol. 2 is already in the works, with more unfit stories on the way. This magazine is about fiction that isn’t fit for ‘them’. What do I mean by ‘them’? Who in particular are ‘they’? They are the government. They are your parents. They are your teachers. They are everywhere. In David Brin’s fantastic story “The River of Time” scientists are coping with co-existing streams of time as some of them move faster and some slower. It says: “A number of physicists, who thought they’d figured out what was going on, went mad, committed suicide, or quietly changed professions.” And then reality continues to twist: “I have contemplated the possibility that the Universe at one time truly d...
