The last issue of Past Masters for 2023. Several authors fall into the life+70 public domain on Jan 1, so there will be some new names. This issue, as usual around 100,000 words, includes one or two long stories. H P Blavatsky, best known as founder of Theosophy, was also a fantasy and weird writer, so i have included an example. Sumner Locke provides a sad Christmas tale.
