''Deathrealm'' was best known for its high-quality fiction and stunning artwork. One cover illustration by artist Ian McDowell (issue 27; see below), which featured an Adobe Photoshop -altered image of the artist as a baby, was considered too controversial by Canadian censors, who banned the sale of that issue. The final issue (#31, Summer 1997 ) featured a cover by renowned artist Richard Corben . Though Rainey edited the magazine for its entire run, ''Deathrealm'' had the following three publishers: issues 1 through 17 -- Stephen Mark Rainey (independent publisher); issues 18 through 22 -- Tal Publications ; issues 23 through 31 -- Malicious Press (a partnership of screenwriter Terry Rossio and novelist Lawrence Watt-Evans ). The first 14 issues of ''Deathrealm'' were digest-sized (5.5" x 8.5"), but as of issue 15, the editor opted to change the format to full magazine size (8.5" x 11") to increase newsstand circulation. It continued in this format until the end of its run. ''Deathrealm'' won several awards, including the Small Press Writers and Artists Organization's Best Magazine/Editor Award of 1990 , the Small Press Genre Assocation's Best Magazine/Editor Award of 1994 , and the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Publication of 1995 . Numerous stories from the magazine were selected for DAW Books ' ''Year's Best Horror'' anthology, edited by Karl Edward Wagner , and St. Martin's Press ' '' Year's Best Fantasy And Horror '' edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling . In 2004 , Rainey compiled an anthology of stories from the magazine, titled '' Deathrealms ,'' which was published as a signed and limited edition hardcover by Delirium Books . EXTERNAL LINKS |
