Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Leading Edge presents a fine polyglot of stories, poetry, essays and art, which, if not always unsurpassed by that which appears in wider publications, are certainly worth the price. Stories have ranged from the silliness of "Devil in an Ocean Bloc Container," about the havoc created when the long-vanished Satan is accidentally rediscovered in a bargain-store purchase, to the lyrically tragic "Key to Pain," in which a paralyzed man finds a way to create beauty out of agony, and cover everything in between and beyond besides. An especial draw are surprise interviews with such sci-fi/fantasy greats as Orson Scott Card, Larry Niven, and Terry Brooks. The magazine's editors also offer good-natured, solid advice to aspiring authors on writing, editing, and getting oneself published.
Points of interest:
1. Leading Edge publishes work from just about anyone anywhere,
2. maintains strict standards of integrity and cleanliness, and
3. is run almost entirely by college students (but don't let that fool you).
The only downsides to this magazine are the sorts which plague many smaller publications. The somewhat small and cramped font can be hard on both the eyes and the mind, and the magazine's tight binding does not allow for easy one-handed reading. But what does that matter, really? The contents more than overcome such trifles, and the covers are terrific.
All in all, this magazine is excellent for readers roughly 13 and up.
