Put your tentacles together for the January issue!

Well, it’s 2024 now, which sounds suspiciously made-up and futuristic, but we’ll leave the calendar verification to the goblin particle astrologicians and focus instead on the dramatic unveiling of our one hundred twenty-third issue, which is stuffed with enough delectably weird stories and poems to sustain you through the cold, cold months ahead. Once you’ve bundled up and settled in with fiction from Jimmy Huff, flash from Jon Doughboy and Lydia Storm, poetry from Peter Dellolio and Patrick Meeds, and haiku from Nicholas Klacsanzky, you won’t even hear those unhinged winter winds twistering through the pines outside your cave. And be sure to visit the cosy cover art from Nini Kvaratskhelia.

The July Issue

Our one-hundred-and-ninth issue is something of an anomaly, as it contains much loss and destruction—of the environment, of others, of the self. Yet as the nettle’s sting is soothed by the jewelweed that grows alongside it, each piece holds some key ingredient that makes its burdens easier to bear: beauty, laughter, resilience.

There are so many things to worry about right now, and trying to keep up with what we need to do, to think, and to feel threatens to overwhelm us at every moment. We hope the words of James Donlon, Robert Garnham, K. Noel Moore, Nick Olson, Namit V. Shah, and Ali A. Ünal, as well as the art of Angelica Gonzalez, will provide an antidote to despair.
