Third Alternative cover

Third Alternative

Subject: Speculative Fiction
Category: Magazine
Country of Origin: UK

Bringing together the most innovative writers, The Third Alternative is a unique, critically acclaimed mix of quality fiction, poetry, art and opinion. Committed to breaking new ground, the magazine contains some of the finest cutting edge horror, fantasy and SF, often taking such genres into places they don't usually go. The fantasy is dark and the terrors are personal.

After a two-year hiatus, The Third Alternative was relaunched in 2007 as Black Static.
