Summer is the time for beach reading, for good old-fashioned pulpy fun, and coming in the July/August issue we have killer robots, dragon hunters, alien planets, and ghosts from the past all lined up to entertain and amuse you. G. V. Anderson will return to these pages with a moody Gothic novelet, in which a mismatched couple elopes to the Yorkshire moors in 1938 only to have their tenuous marriage unravel due to supernatural events and "A Strange Uncertain Light." Deborah Coates will also be here to show us the sudden appearance of dragons in South Dakota and introduce us to some "Girls Who Never Stood a Chance." Plus we'll have stories by Albert E. Cowdrey, Alex Irvine, Molly Gloss, and more.

And just around the corner from that, we have F&SF's 70th Anniversary Issue headed your way, with stories by Paolo Bacigalupi, Elizabeth Bear, Gardner Dozois, Kelly Link, Maureen McHugh, Michael Moorcock, and many others. Renew your subscription now—you won't want to miss it.
