Award-winning author RJ Astruc starts us out with one of her wonderful Zeem stories, "What Would Luminael Do?", where a fallen angel struggles with the complicated morals of miracles. An unexpected tall tale (as a Texan, I admit I was doubly thrilled) follows in "The Devil and Buck Strapner," Evan Lewis' charmer of a story where a man battles the devil himself. Two fantasy stories follow, both with witches, but going in directions as distinct as you could find - one a twisted tale where a witch won't make mischief for a knight just looking for a fight, and another where coal miners and prehistoric creatures minded by witches work together with only grudging acceptance.
We also have a ton of book reviews, reviewing "Pandemonium," "The Engine's Child," and "Every Last Drop," from our outstanding staff, including the aforementioned Kyle White and Matt Switliski - which you'll notice has a new member.
We are truly delighted to announce the arrival of a nonfiction editor - Amy Brozio-Andrews. She has exciting ideas, great contacts, and she's already working hard on next month's big double issue. As you've probably noticed, we've had a big staff turnaround this past year; we're truly thrilled (and lucky) to have such excellent new folks. 2008 has taken us through a lot of change, and it's extraordinarily exciting to see where we're heading.
See you next month (our December-January issue - can't wait to share!
