NOTE: This is the first of the Terminus issues
with more than one artist doing the entire issue.
This issue of WEIRD TALES from Fall of 1990 has the first story that
Stephen King was actually paid for! It is called "The Glass Floor"
and also includes an introduction to the story written by King in 1990
for this publication. The actual story was written in 1967!
Comments on the lineup: Long editorial, discussion
of the WT policy on reprints (only if previously published long ago
and far away and not currently available to most readers). This is
apropos of the reprinting of the King story, his first ever sale,
and at that time not available in a collection. King also did a long
introduction to the story, well worth reading in itself. Other authors
of note who appear here: Bretnor, Watson, and Fred Chappell. Nice
lineup. And did you catch all those great illustrators featured this
month? What a way to break out of the "single artist per copy" mode.
