The guys over at Wildside have announced that Ann VanderMeer will be the new fiction editor for Weird Tales. Ann’s done a lot of interesting editorial work over the years, from her days back when she was editing The Silver Web, on to her many collaborations with Jeff VanderMeer. I think she’s a really interesting choice. For my money, Weird Tales had really lost it’s way over the years, losing touch with the field that it played an incredibly important role in creating. Here’s to a fresh editorial eye coming in and giving the whole publication a fresh perspective: I can’t wait to see what she’ll do, I’ve no doubt it’ll be interesting.
