We are 100 years old and have learned some things in our time.
1) Make stuff. Make stories, make art, make kids—make terrifying and wonderful objects for each other.

James Moore’s short story “Three Winters” is a highlight of last year’s Swords and Sorcery issue, and he also contributed a fantastic essay on the genre to our 100th Anniversary book. Enjoy eternity, James. Well earned.
The world has lost another one of the truly good guys. My dear friend James Moore passed this morning. He was one of the very first friends I made in the fiction world. A gentleman, a superb writer, a decent human being. Happy journeys, my brother.
