Order some takeout and put on your comfiest jammies, ’cause our All-New Issue is ready for a casual night in!
Come for the unusual house paint, stay for the corpses in space. Visit an airport diner, meet a very old woman, take a spiritual journey, and enjoy some cosmic loungin’. Also: moths!
Bend it online or snap the .pdf.
Because dark times call for good art.

Congratulations to Grace, Ashley, Ezra, Joshua, and Lauren, and a huge thank you to all our contributors and everyone who has submitted work to us this year. We literally wouldn’t exist without you.
And thank YOU, person reading this right now, for taking an interest in the arts and being generally awesome. Treat yourself to a donut.
Glad autumn tidings to you, Dear Reader. From the multitude of leaves the winds have scattered in the parlor of our woodland cave, we have collected six to press between the pages of Issue 106. Grace Elizabeth Butler’s “The Wolf Who Was Late” is a bold crimson sugar maple. Nenad Pavlovic’s “How the Ninja Turtles Almost Got Me Killed” is a sycamore, splattered with vibrant crayon hues. J. D. Dixon’s “They being (being there)” is a delicate handful of quaking aspen leaves. Gary Moshimer’s “Chips and Cheers” is a robust horse chestnut, while Daniel Galef’s “How to Pull a Coin Out of an Ear” is a slippery elm, rustling with mischief. Amanda Chiado’s “Throw Yourself Across the Earth” is a rich brown oak with sharp points.
