IZ218 is a Chris Beckett special. Chris was an Interzone ‘discovery’ in 1990 and went on to publish a further 18 stories here. We recently received three more quality stories from him in quick succession, so we decided to run all three in the same issue, along with Chris’s own introductions and an in-depth interview conducted by Andy Hedgecock.

The Chris Becket stories are:

Poppyfields, illustrated by Vincent Chong

Greenland, illustrated by Warwick Fraser-Coombe

Rat Island, illustrated by Daniel Bristow-Bailey

The cover image is by Warwick Fraser-Coombe, for Greenland.
