Weirdbook #38
I've been acquiring magazines (electronic and print) in addition to books and I should start reading more of them. And by magazines, of course, I mean anthology fiction magazines.
I should also review the newer titles to support the 'zines out there now that are delivering the kind of stuff I enjoy reading. Weirdbook is certainly one of those titles.
#38 is a good mix and like every anthology, some stories appealed more than others. I should think any pulp fan would enjoy it for the most part. The content is truly a "Weird" mix with fantasy, sword-&-sorcery, and horror (including Lovecraftian horror.) There are poems in the mix, too.
All of the current run of Weirdbook helmed by Douglas Draa are available - even cheaply for Kindle if you want. (this issue is currently the least expensive in eformat.)
Because I want to support them, I feel a little conflict of interest reviewing this magazine for the following reason; I must now publicly disclaim that I am scheduled to appear in Weirdbook #40.
This is also why I am giving a high-level simple review. I don't want to review each story or pick out favorites.
So, all the more selfish reason for me to ask you to keep these 'zines going!
Congratulations on the sale!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's been officially accepted but I'm waiting on contract. So, I waited a while before saying anything. I know a couple of other folks who should be in the t.o.c with me.
