Abyss & Apex Magazine

Abyss & Apex Magazine (A&A) is a long-running, semi-professional online speculative fiction magazine. The title of the magazine is derived from a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900): "And if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." The magazine's stories and poetry explore how humans would react if new technology, magic, or supernatural powers affected them. Abyss & Apex publishes dark fiction, though not horror. The magazine features an approximately equal mix of fantasy and science fiction stories. Initially, it was published bimonthly until issue #13, after which it transitioned to a quarterly release schedule. ()
