My inner reader is sad.

PETERMBALL Conspicuous Acts of Cultural Consumption January 28, 2009Fiction, Realms of Fantasy, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror

A few weeks ago we lost The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, a book with a twenty-year history and a mainstay of my to-read list every year. Today I discovered that Realms of Fantasy is closing its doors after a fifteen-year run. It’s looking like a dark time to be a writer of short fantasy fiction,  but I think the reader in me is far more bothered by the loss of these publications.
