BFS Journal

Country: UK
Total Issues: 24 (as at Oct-2024)

Small press fantasy/horror magazine produced on behalf of the British Fantasy Society. Initially just an omnibus of Dark Horizons, New Horizons and the newsletter Prism, but from Winter 2011/12 on became a separate magazine in its own right. After #13 the fiction content was spun off into a new magazine, BFS Horizons, and the magazine became non-fiction only.
