Subtitled "The Magazine of Science Fiction Adventures," Absolute Magnitude was a letter-sized, fiction-oriented American semiprozine edited and published by Warren Lapine from Greenfield, Massachusetts, issued under his DNA Publications imprint.
He began it in Spring/Summer 1993 under the title Harsh Mistress, but that name, meant to evoke Robert A. Heinlein's novel The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress (If, December 1965–April 1966), sounded like a bondage magazine to distributors, and the magazine was retitled (its numbering resuming with #1) with its third issue, Fall/Winter 1994. It absorbed Aboriginal Science Fiction in Spring 2002 and ended in Spring 2005.
