 Interview, April 16, 2010: Writer and literary critic Karl Wenclas interviews our editor on AttackingtheDemi-Puppets: "How does your journal stand out from the solipsistic hipster pack? ...We're about hybridizing and building bridges, rather than alienating or shocking readers for the sake of defining an antagonistically unique niche for ourselves.

Linda Appleby "The design makes it a pleasure to hold and turn over in the hands. Oh, yes, the writing. Well, this is grownup stuff. These are by-and-large the tales I hoped I might be writing, and certainly reading, whilst navigating the ravages of late middle age." Rob Hunter
Praise from our contributors: ISSUE 3 "Wow. Thank you for your feedback. I've never had such a pleasurable experience submitting poems. I'm really grateful for your time and interest." Nichelle Davis, "Sideshow Serpentina" ISSUE 2 "...an eye opener...Very high level - the stories didn't flag toward end of issue as in some publications." Larry Lefkowitz, "The Lady in the Bay" "I'm proud to be a part of it! From layout to story placement, it's obvious a lot of thought and hard work went into the journal's development."

John Jasper Owens, "Horrortown" "...was blown away by the high quality of your production and content." C. E. Chaffin, "Kentucy-Fried Chirst" |
