Website Description:
This is our final issue of 2023.
We have original
stories from Robert Jeschonek, John M. Floyd, Anne Swardson, and Phyllis Ann
Karr, plus a recent tale by Anna Tambour. Classic reprints from Keith Laumer,
Piers Anthony, Raymond F. Jones, and Hal Meredith. Plus, of course, a
solve-it-yourself puzzler.
On a personal note,
I have a short story (a collaboration with Leigh Grossman, a great friend from
college; we met in an English class and I soon joined his fantasy role-playing
group) in the current issue of Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, and my first
novel in more than a decade will be out in early 2024. (It’s called The Things
from Another World, and quite obviously is a sequel to John W. Campbell’s “Who
Goes There”—which was filmed by Howard Hawks as The Thing from Another World,
and then John Carpenter as his masterpiece, The Thing.) So I guess you can say
I’m writing more regularly now.
Here’s to an even
better 2024!
