To the news earlier this semester that The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction is cutting its frequency to bimonthly, we now can add that Realms of Fantasy magazine is closing after 15 years (reported here by Locus Online) and that the anthology on our syllabus, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 2008: 21st Annual Collection, will be the last in that influential series, as publisher St. Martin's is pulling the plug. There will be no 2009 volume, and my collection is, alas, complete.
Co-editor Gavin Grant blogged the Year's Best news here, and the many folks posting comments include Peter Straub, Jane Yolen, Eileen Gunn (whose sasquatch story is in the current volume) and co-editor Ellen Datlow, who announces plans to continue the horror half of the anthology with another publisher, Night Shade.
