I sold my collection of 200+ issues of Galaxy about 15 years ago and have kind or regretted it until now. I still have all of the Galaxy Reader anthologies edited by Gold and Pohl. They’re okay, but they don’t have any illustrations.

Mysterion is kickstarting their second volume. The first volume was very good, and not what you might expect from a Christian-themed SFF anthology; my review is at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1742617394.

I don’t have anything to submit at the moment, but they’re not open yet, and something may yet come to me. If it does, I’ll be in good company.
