Absolute Magnitude is an American discontinued, semi-professional science fiction magazine started in Spring/Summer 1993 issue under the name Harsh Mistress.[1] However, in 1994 after only two issues the name was changed to Absolute Magnitude.[1] In 2002 the name was changed again to Absolute Magnitude & Aboriginal Science Fiction when the publishers acquired the rights to Aboriginal Science Fiction. Absolute Magnitude was published by DNA Publications and edited by Warren Lapine.[2] During this period it was headquartered in Radford, Virginia.[2] Although it was supposed to be a quarterly magazine its actual releases were irregular. After releasing twenty-one issues under the Absolute Magnitude title (plus two as Harsh Mistress), Spring 2005 issue was the final issue of the magazine.[1]
Absolute Magnitude was nominated for the 2002 Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine with Lapine noted as the editor.[3]
