Orion's Child Science Fiction & Fantasy Magazine
Orion's Child Science Fiction & Fantasy Magazine was a fantasy and science fiction magazine first published in 1984 by Orion Press under the editorship of T. Joseph Cole. The magazine featured original fiction, art, and poetry. Though it included works by such prominent authors as Ray Bradbury and Richard L. Tierney, the original magazine produced only two issues. Recently, Orion's Child has been resurrected by the son, Gabriel M. Cole, of the original founder and editor, himself an aspiring writer.
The new incarnation, this "second volume" of Orion's Child, is an e-zine and is not published in paper format. The first issue appeared in May 2007, with subsequent issues appearing monthly. The second volume adheres to a similar format as the original paper magazine, including original art, poetry and fiction, but eschewing in-page navigation, blogs, or other web enhancements to hold true to the style of a paper magazine.

“At bottom there is in Joyce a profound hatred for humanity—the scholar’s hatred. One realizes that he has the neurotic’s fear of entering the living world, the world of men and women in which he is powerless to function. He is in revolt not against institutions, but against mankind.... Ulysses is like a vomit spilled by a delicate child whose stomach has been overloaded with sweetmeats.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“There is more religion in men’s science than there is science in their religion.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“In general, one may pronounce kissing dangerous. A spark of fire has often been struck out of the collision of lips, that has blown up the whole magazine of virtue.”
—Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 203 (April 1803)
