    A solid half of my Lansdale collection is from Subterranian. While I absolutely HATE, HATE, HATE the cover art on pretty much every one, it's nice to know those limited are out there.

    Ramsey Campbell is "underrated"...? By who? He's won tons of awards, is considered a living legend by the horror and fantasy community, and is "Britain's most respected living horror writer" according to the Oxford Companion to English Literature.

    Some presses you did not mention:

    Ash-Tree Press - an important steward of the classic ghost story tradition and publishers of much acclaimed new work as well.

    Earthling Publications - releasing loads of great books, including a healthy chunk of the work of Glen Hirshberg, one of the most acclaimed authors of horror/dark/weird fiction to emerge this decade.

    Shroud Publications - still very young, but drawing more and more attention to both its flagship magazine and its book line.

    @craigdbpatton: I really need to give Campbell another shot. I tried and tried to finish THE COUNT OF ELEVEN about 15 years ago and it was chore. A great big nasty one at that, like latrine after the entire barracks were on a 3-day bender of cheap Shlitz and Pabst....

    Around page 80 I finally gave up.

    Again, can we please not perpetuate the *noun*punk trend? Blech!

    How do you even define 'skatepunk'? Unless the whole outfit is covered in wheels it's just any kind of clothes in the world paired with roller skates or rollerblades.

    Sorry *deep breath*, anyhow the creature designs art style is cute. #art

    Anthologies like Eclipse and Fast Forward seem to be filing part of the void left by the decline of fiction magazines.

    @Franklin Harris: I spoke to Jeremy Lassen of Night Shade Books and he is definitely trying for some of that. They recently became the publishing partner of Electric Velocipede to help keep venues for speculative fiction short stories alive in print.

    @Franklin Harris: That's my perception too... but on the other hand, you still need short fiction magazines to nurture new talent and provide stories for anthologies to reprint.

    @Charlie Jane Anders: Magazines are definitely better at nurturing new talent, but the anthologies we see now are increasingly publishing previously unpublished stories. I suspect one reason anthologies are supplanting mags is anthologies tend to offer more known talent for the reader's buck. But it could end up self-defeating is there's no place for new talent to become known.

    The first two volumes of Eclipse were truly great. What I really dig is that these are general Speculative Fiction, no themes. You ain't going to cotton to every single story, but I'll guarantee you'll find something you love that's not really "your type of story".

    And kudos to Jeremy and Johnathan for getting that piece of vintage SF art by Richard Powers for the cover. Nice touch.
