I hope y'all are familiar with Fantasy Magazine, the weekly webzine devoted to high fantasy, contemporary and urban tales, surrealism, magical realism, science fantasy, and folktales. The magazine is co-edited by the indefatigable Sean Wallace and Cat Rambo (of Prime Books), along with the stellar team of Paul Tremblay, K. Tempest Bradford, Paula Guran and Stephen Segal.
They've published some terrific fiction recently, but of particular interest to mythic fiction readers is Paul Jessop's fine tale "A Word Without Ghosts" (with its delicious allusions to fairy tales, animal bridegroom myths, and the story of Peter Pan), and Richard Bowes' enchanting fable "The Cinnamon Cavalier." Don't miss them.
The charming painting above is "The Artist at Work," from K. Tempest Bradford's profile of illustrator Kat Beyer.
Speaking of Prime Books, did you know that they're republishing the "Snow White, Blood Red" fairy tales series in new trade-paperback editions? Black Thorn, White Rose is available now, with more volumes to follow.
I did NOT know that the books are to be re-issued! Holy smokes, that's awesome!

I'm glad they'll be available again -- although I miss the old covers.

That's wonderful - now I can start treating my friends to copies!
Too bad about the covers - do you think they're trying to appeal to people who only read chicklit novels? (Just wait til they get to "I shall do thee Mischief in the Wood" ;) )
