The Internet Review of Science Fiction was an American webzine devoted to science fiction criticism. It featured critical articles as well as reviews of short fiction and novels.[1]

History

The magazine was published from 2004 to 2010 and published articles, essays, interviews, reviews, and criticism on work in the genres of science fiction and fantasy.[2] Notable authors include John Joseph Adams, Jay Lake, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch, as well as a monthly short fiction review written by Lois Tilton. Asimov's Science Fiction writer rated the website as one of the best science fiction opinion sites in 2005.[3] From 2007 to 2009, the Internet Review of Science Fiction was ranked within the top 25 science fiction magazines by the Locus Awards.[4][5][6]

In 2008, the magazine partnered with Romania SF Online to publish selected articles in Romanian. The magazine's last issue was in February 2010.[7] Financial shortcomings were cited as the reason for the magazine folding.[8]

Editors

It was largely the concept and creation of John Frost, who was also the first editor in chief.[9] The last editor was Stacey Janssen.
