The Internet Review of Science Fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Internet Review of Science Fiction (often given as IROSF) is an American Webzine devoted to science fiction criticism. It was largely the concept and creation of John Frost, who was also the first Editor-in-Chief. John Joseph Adams is credited as coming up with the idea of the Sub-Genre Spotlight section, as well as writing the first few of them. Adrian Bourne designed the rocket icon that the site has become known for, as well as the logo.[1]

Since it was first published in 2004, IROSF has been a forum for the serious exploration of the literature of the fantastic, and has published intelligent articles, essays, interviews, reviews, and criticism that illuminate the most interesting and important work in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. It has had numerous high-profile authors within its virtual pages, including John Joseph Adams, Jay Lake, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch, as well as a monthly short fiction review written by Lois Tilton.

In 2008, pursuing an interest in international science fiction communities, IROSF partnered with Romania SF Online rosf.ro to publish selected articles in Romanian.
