Links to the Fortean Bureau


In 2004, the e-zine "The Fortean Bureau" had a very active year, with a full issue every month. The stories were high quality, and attracted the attention of Gardner Dozois, among others. In his anthology "The Year's Best Science Fiction" covering the year 2004, Gardner Dozois included six stories from the Fortean Bureau in his honorable mentions listing.



Unfortunately, the Fortean Bureau has just gone on hiatus, and is not currently working on new issues. For the moment, the older issues are still on the web, and it seems prudent to peruse them now while they are still to be found. They offer stories in a variety of genres, but science fiction is strongly included. A link to the front page of their web site is here:

Please consider sending the folks at the Fortean Bureau a word or two of encouragement and thanks, as they helped bring many good stories to the light of day. I hope to see them back at publishing someday soon.
