Gavin J. Grant and Kelly Link, who for five years have been editing the fantasy half of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, announced that the 2008 issue, the 21st edition, will be the last.
Ellen Datlow, who founded the series with Terri Windling, and who has been editing the horror half of the books, followed Grant and Link’s announcement by announcing that “yes the YBFH is no more, but I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just been offered a two-book deal with Night Shade to edit a Best of the Year in Horror anthology (not titled yet) for this year and next.”
