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.

Still extremely worried about the whereabouts of overseas copies of Interzone 217, but Interzone 218 will go to press on schedule for an early September release. More details to follow, but it’s something of a Chris Beckett special with three stories, in-depth interview and a front cover illustrating one of those stories, art by Warwick Fraser-Coombe. Clicking it makes it grow.
