Contest Error

Many, many apologies! This is the first time we’ve used the Contest page since the site was overhauled last month, and, unfortunately, it seems to have picked up a bug along the way.

Win an ARC!

18th Century Cosmo

18th Century Cosmo has it all: true confessions, advertisements, a quiz, even a centerfold. All I can say is, you guys are the best 18th century editorial staff ever. 18th Century Cosmo significantly enlivened a rainy week.
