Quantum Muse is a
monthly ezine featuring
fantasy,
science fiction, and art, usually by
lesser-known artists and
authors. It's an entirely
independent publication thus, you will see things there that a lot of
big-time corporate editors would be afraid to
embrace. As the editors themselves say on the
front page of the
site, "Our
goal is to provide the discriminating
reader with the best
fantasy and
science fiction literature and art we can obtain without spending most of our
beer money."
The site
design is
common and
professional and what
graphics they have are good ones. Clicking on a
category will show you all the
stories in that
genre for the current month, along with the beginning of each story. The complete story can then be read by clicking on the respective link.
When you're
sick of going to the
bookstore and experiencing
vertigo at the
mind-boggling selection of
bad fantasy novels, the web can be a great
alternative.
