Craphound, by Cory Doctorow

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700

This story, originally published in Science Fiction Age, March 1998, sums up how I feel about the Space Western genre in a lot of ways. These Space Westerns, the ones on this site and the many more that have yet to appear, the reprints and the original works, the Space Western fantasies of Edgar Rice Burroughs and the hard science fiction Space Westerns of Isaac Asimov, even the crappy little Space Operas and Bat Durstons, all of them are “a poem and a story.” — ed, N.E.

The Women of Space Westerns, by N.E. Lilly

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0800

When speaking on the subject of Space Westerns, how can you avoid the subject of pioneers?

Lilly
