Black Gate Subscriptions
Black Gate is a quarterly magazine of epic fantasy fiction. It publishes reviews and original short stories from the best names in adventure fantasy. Black Gate covers virtually every aspect of modern print fantasy — books, comics, adventure gaming, role playing games, and much more.
PDFs now available!
Black Gate is now selling downloadable PDF versions of the magazine for just $4.95 each. The PDFs contain the complete magazine - all 224 pages, plus the color cover - and require a free PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat. PDF subscriptions are also available: any 4 issues for $17.95, and any 8 for $32.95.
Already have a subscription? We’ll sell you a PDF for just $2.95 - or just $9.95 for all four issues.
Just order your PDF using the form below, and we’ll send you a unique link to download the complete magazine at your leisure.
A PDF version of our latest issue, number 13, is already available, as well as a PDF version of Issue 12. And we’re hard at work converting the rest of our back issues to bring you the entire Black Gate library.
BACK ISSUE SALE!
Missing any issues of Black Gate? Now’s your chance to complete your collection of the best new fantasy magazine on the market. For a very limited time, we’re offering a “Reverse Subscription” Sale. Any four back issues are the same price as a new subscription: $29.95 (plus shipping and handling). And any eight are just $55!
Take advantage of this offer now. It includes our second and third issues, normally $12.95, and even our rare first issue, priced at $15.95! Why not try our first four issues — a $51.80 value, yours for just $29.95!
But hurry. Quantities are limited. Yes, we know. Everyone says that. (Try it yourself, and you’ll understand. “Quantities are Limited!” It just trips off the tongue somehow.) But really. There’s not many copies left, and once we cart the last of them out of the basement, they’re gone.
Just use the form below to select any four issues for $29.95, or any eight for $55, and we’ll apply the discount. It’s that easy.
