Dave Drake and I were in New Orleans for DeepSouthCon fifteen years ago, strolling through the French Quarter in search of food with then-editor Gerald W. Page. Jerry said he had returned his contract for The Year’s Best HorrorVIII to DAW because he wanted to devote more time to his own writing. He told Dave to replace him. Jerry said: “No way in Hell.” I said: “I’ll do it.” Jerry said: “You were my next choice.” Later, at SeaCon in Brighton, Don and Elsie Wollheim came up to my room and asked me to take over. Trying not to bite the side out of my glass, I said: “Sure!”
