Cirsova Magazine of Thrilling Adventure and Daring Suspense is an American pulp-style fantasy, science fiction, and adventure magazine founded in 2016. It is published by Cirsova Publishing and edited by P. Alexander.[1][2] It was originally known as Cirsova Heroic Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine.

History

Cirsova was founded in 2016. The following year, the magazine was a finalist for the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine.[3] Cirsova publishes short, action-oriented fantasy and science fiction adventures "in the vein of classic pulp magazines."[4] It has featured work by contemporary genre authors as well as longer, serialized works. Through December 2025, thirty-six issues had been published.[2]

In Spring 2019, Cirsova published "Young Tarzan and the Mysterious She," a previously unpublished Tarzan story originally begun by Edgar Rice Burroughs and completed by Michael Tierney. The story was based on a Burroughs fragment that was once "thought destroyed in a fire,"[5]; it appeared in Cirsova Magazine Volume 2, #1 (Spring 2019).[6][5]

The Cosmic Courtship is a pulp science fiction romance by Julian Hawthorne (son of Nathaniel Hawthorne), which had originally appeared only in serialized form in 1917.[7] In 2021, Cirsova Publishing released a collected edition of the stories comprising the novel.[8][7]

Reception

Issues of Cirsova have been reviewed by genre publications such as Tangent Online, which has described the magazine as including action-driven, pulp-influenced fantasy and science fiction.[2][9][10][11] A review of the Spring 2023 issue in DMR Books described the magazine's “wonderfully weird” fiction, providing commentary on several stories.[12]
