Editor/Publisher Mark Lord writes to tell us that the first issue of Alt Hist, “the new magazine of Historical Fiction and Alternate History,” is now available. Lord says “Alt Hist‘s mission is to provide readers with the very best new stories in the historical fiction and alternate history genres. With the demise of Paradox, there have been very few publications specializing in historical fiction. Alt Hist aims to fill that gap.”
The first issue of Alt Hist features six short stories, which are a mix of historical fiction and alternate history:
“The Silent Judge” by David W. Landrum
“Easter Parade, 1930” by Rob McClure Smith
“Holy Water” by Andrew Knighton
“Lament for Lost Atlanta” by Arlan Andrews
“The Bitterness of Apples” by Priya Sharma
“Travelling by Air” by Ian Sales
The first issue also includes an interview with Brandon H. Bell, co-editor of Aether Age, and information about the alternate history anthology Columbia & Britannia.
The magazine is available in a print book format from Lulu at this link (the 72-page trade paperback is available for $10.56, or for $6.78 as an electronic download), or as an ebook from Smashwords at this link (for $6.99).
Alt Hist is edited and published by Mark Lord, a UK based writer of fantasy and science fiction. Mark has a Masters in Medieval Literature and has been a fan of historical fiction for as long as he can remember.
