We at Weird Tales salute our colleagues at the indie zines Talebones and Lone Star Stories, both of which closed their doors this week after years of great work publishing fantastic fiction. And we note the debut of a new iPhone magazine, Steampunk Tales, featuring WT contributors Jay Lake and Phil Brucato, friend-of-the-magazine Catherynne Valente, and more!

Happy 80th, George Scithers
May 14th, 2009
All of us at Weird Tales wish a very happy 80th birthday to our editor emeritus, George H. Scithers!
You’d think our favorite engineer-turned-editor — not to mention our wise mentor and good friend — would at least consider relaxing a little. After all, in the ’60s he won Hugos for his fanzine Amra and introduced the tradition of the modern Worldcon Masquerade; in the ’70s he won a couple more Hugos as the founding editor of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine; in the ’80s he took the helm at Amazing Stories; and in the ’90s he shared a World Fantasy Award with Darrell Schweitzer for relaunching Weird Tales. But George has kept the red pen close at hand through the 21st century thus far; his second Cat Tales feline fantasy anthology is forthcoming soon from Wildside Press.
George has been a bit under the weather lately, and his local sf convention (Capclave, in the D.C. suburbs) is likely to be the only con he gets out to this year — so we suspect any birthday greetings you’d like to send him at gscithers(AT)wildsidepress(DOT)com would be particularly appreciated!
