End of an Era

More sad news greets me as I arrive back from holiday - Emerald City, one of the best speculative fiction e-zines, is ceasing publication. http://www.emcit.com/wordpress/?p=2877

Fortunately, it isn't all bad news. While there will be no more Emerald City, the fantasybookspot E-zine, Heliotrope, has been launched, and it looks very good. It has articles, reviews, poetry and fiction. The line-up for the first issue is very impressive - an article by Jeff Vandermeer, an article by R Scott Bakker and poetry from Catherynne M. Valente - it doesn't get much better than that. http://www.heliotropemag.com/Issue01/index.html
