Realms of Fantasy's February 2010 content

Assistant Editor/Nonfiction Editor/Art Director Douglas Cohen has announced the contents of the February 2010 issue of Realms of Fantasy.

Fiction in this issue will include:
"How Interesting: A Tiny Man" by Harlan Ellison (illustrated by Leo & Diane Dillon)
"The Unknown God" by Ann Leckie (illustrated by Gallegos)
"Mélanie" by Aliette de Bodard (illustrated by Frank Wu)
"Mister Oak" by Leah Bobet (illustrated by Gary Lippincott)
"The Demon of Hochgarten" by Euan Harvey (illustrated by Dave Leri)

The artist gallery features Charles Vess, and the issue will also include the usual run of review and non-fiction columns.

Cohen writes: "This is Ellison's first new story in almost a decade. And, by special arrangement with Realms of Fantasy and its art department, Harlan Ellison got to play art director with his story. The artists for this piece were selected by him and he worked with them. I gave the stamp of approval on the artist selections and it was up to me concerning whether to accept the final piece that was turned in, but this was Harlan's baby."

The cover is Gallegos' illustration of Ann Leckie's "The Unknown God", in keeping with the new plan to use a piece of interior art as the cover.
