CSFF: The Sword Review

This month’s Christian science-fiction and fantasy tour features The Sword Review.

The Sword Review is a webzine (a magazine completely online) featuring science-fiction and fantasy of all types. Art work, long fiction, short short stories, essays, columns, poetry—here you can find a little bit of everything, like a fantastical sampler. And like a sampler, everything may not suit your taste—some of the pieces can get down-right bizarre—but it’s likely something will, if you like science-fiction and fantasy at all.

In addition, readership participation is highly encouraged with a forum attached to each piece. This is one of the major advantages of a webzine over print—communication can go two ways!

Want to know more? Hop over to The Sword Review and read some of their pieces. Or have a look at what some of the other participants are doing:
