Thanks: Our thanks to Lewayne L. White for bringing the Reviews page up to date. It had fallen behind about ten issues. Bewildering Stories very much appreciates that kind of help: we’re a cooperative enterprise of readers, contributors and editors.

Scheduling: A combination of issue lengths, the two Contests, projects “behind the scenes” for Bewildering Stories, and projects for Bewildering Press, among other things, have made some rescheduling necessary. Tenth Man won’t be affected, nor will the Contests or the departments. We hope our contributors and readers will understand and be patient with us.

Who is this esteemed contributor
to Bewildering Stories?
