Here's what's on tap for our first issue of the year 2002:

R. Garcia y Robertson returns us to the fantasy world of Markovy with a lovely adventure concerning black-sailed ships and demigods in the novelet "Death in Love."

The impish Harlan Ellison takes a tale from his forthcoming collection Troublemakers and bids us "Never Send to Know for Whom the Lettuce Wilts."

And Paul Park gives us a lovely literary look at the edge in "Tachycardia."

We'll also have regular columns as well, and the months ahead promise new work from Graham Joyce, Esther Friesner, William Browning Spencer, and Paul Di Filippo (to name but a few). Be sure to subscribe if you don't want to miss any of the goodies.
