UPDATE March 2022: Goggle Mail (Gmail) often seems to be zapping the SFcrowsnest newsletter before it even gets to your inbox: not even sticking it in bulk-mail. Which seems odd, given the 100s of pieces of obviously unwanted crap it does let through each day. Ho hum. We suggest you use an alternative free email provider to get the newsletter, now.

What is this strange magazine, then?

SFcrowsnest sends out a FREE weekly magazine by e-mail.

Each issue has reviews of the best new science fiction and fantasy novels, comics, TV shows and movies, as well as many features, interviews and editorials, not to mention breaking stories from the sci-fi, fantasy and horror genres.

We cover everything from Lost in Space & the new Star Wars films, through TV like Walking Dead, The Expanse and Star Trek Discovery, to reviews of novels by Adrian Tchaikovsky, George RR Martin, James S. A. Corey, Stephen Hunt, Alastair Reynolds and thousands more best-selling authors.

It’s just like those glossy sci-fi magazines you see sitting on the shelf of WH Smith and Borders – except you don’t have to pay $6.99 for each flipping copy each week!

You’re in good company!

SFcrowsnest has been online since 1991 and is the oldest digital fan magazine dedicated to the science fiction, fantasy, horror genre (possibly the oldest online magazine of any ilk). Plenty of our current readers weren’t even born when the magazine launched. This makes us feel very old! Like the flipping Yoda of the genre.
