Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Editor, Fan.
(1958- ) US fan (active with letters published in SF Magazines as early as 1978), editor and publisher. In 2012 he acquired the then-moribund Amazing Stories (which see), reviving it first as a lively website with a news and reviews blog, then with ebook and webzine issues, and – with help from Kickstarter funding – as a print magazine from August 2018 (#614 dated Fall 2018) to Summer 2020 (#619) with Ira Nayman as editor. Financial problems then led to suspension of the print edition.
Davidson has also recreated Hugo Gernsback's old Experimenter Publishing Company, and under its auspices is publishing not only Amazing itself but the Best of Amazing Stories sequence of reprint Anthologies, beginning with The Best of Amazing Stories: The 1926 Anthology (anth 2014) edited with Jean Marie Stine.
