Chalomot Be'aspamia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chalomot Be'aspamia (Lit.: Dreams in Aspamia, an expression meaning unattainable dreams) is an israeli magazine of science fiction and fantasy short stories. It is published since 2002 by Ron Yaniv and edited by Vered Tochterman. Introductions (mostly humorous) to all the stories are written by Nir Yaniv.

The magazine (often referred to simply as Aspamia) is a slickly-produced, large format publication with colour covers. It is nationally-distributed. It is also available by subscription and in Israeli conventions.

It is dedicated to nurturing original Hebrew short stories, though it publishes one or two translated short stories by well-known writers in each issue. It has also published some translated fiction by Israeli authors writing in English.

Writers published regularly in Chalomot Be'aspamia include Nir Yaniv, Vered Tochterman, Guy Hasson and Lavie Tidhar.

There have been 14 issues to 2006.
