Realms of Fantasy not closing after all

Don't faint at having two blog posts from me in one day, but I thought I should post this bit since it wasn't that long ago that I was passing on the news of Realms of Fantasy magazine's closing. (Insert obvious Mark Twain quote about reports of their demise blah blah blah.)

It's not.

Nice to hear good news these days.

Remind me to tell you about their review of Wicked Game someday. It was part of a really interesting essay by Paul Witcover on third-wave feminism.

Realms of Fantasy apparently closing

Sad news for the genre broke yesterday: Realms of Fantasy magazine, purveyor of great short fiction and incisive reviews (one of which I've been meaning to post since July), will be closing as of the April 2009 issue. Even though subscriptions and advertising purchases were steady, apparently newsstand sales had plummeted.

*shakes fist at economy*
