This is a pleasant surprise. I received some votes for 'Best Editor' in the Locus Awards Poll, and Weird Horror also placed in the 'Best Magazine' category. Thanks to everyone who voted!

If I may commend a slender volume to you, "Armageddon House" by Michael Griffin is a fine riff on "Huis clos". You can read it in a single sitting and it will stick with you. Published by the good folks at @undertow.bsky.social
