Interstellar Flight Magazine Best of Year Two

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.

This is a decent anthology with a huge variety of content. It consists of some non-fiction (mostly touching on subjects such as women in SFF, BIPOC in SFF and hot topics in speculative fiction, some microfiction detailing “alternative endings” to 2020, a bunch of reviews of various pieces of media (books, movies, tv shows and videogames) and some short interviews with SFF writers.

If you're looking to read more content from diverse writers, you should definitely read this. As I've been getting into more niche SFF things like speculative poetry and (feminist) small presses, this anthology came at a kind of perfect moment, since it's full of recommendations and introductions to exactly those things.

The only thing I didn't care for much were the reviews/articles on horror and anime, since I don't much care for those. But that's what you get with such a varied anthology as this!

Happy to have been introduced to Interstellar Flight. I was already familiar with several of their works (Can you sign my tentacle, field guide to invasive species of minnesota and local star) but had no idea they were all published by the same publisher. A small press to keep an eye on.
