Jovanka Vuckovic has announced that she's leaving her post as Editor-in-Chief of RUE MORGUE magazine to concentrate on personal creative projects and to start a family. Jovanka has worked at RM for seven years and has served in this position for three. She'll be succeeded by Dave Alexander, who has been contributing to the mag for four years.

Some of my favorite features in this great magazine were published during Jovanka's run, though she always stressed that the decisions made regarding content were made in a collaborative manner with er colleagues. Still, while publisher Rodrigo Gudino has been concentrating on film projects, Jovanka has served as the public face of RM, especially at the Festival of Fear, where her horror tattoos and flame red hair made her hard to miss. I've found her extremely personable and outgoing on behalf of the RM brand.

Dave has written some terrific content for the mag, and I'm sure he'll do an excellent job as editor. I've only met him a couple of times, usually at cons or festivals where he and Gary Pullin were helping Rodrigo to promote RM, but I've found him just as friendly as Jovanka.

Fear Zone wishes Jovanka, Dave and RUE MORGUE the best on all their future creative endeavors!
