I don’t read in order, but so far @seanbirnie.bsky.social’s Black Water (one of his best yet, IMO), @sashabrown.bsky.social’s To the Wolves, and @avramargariti.bsky.social’s Fragments (From a Film) are worth the price of admission alone. An incredibly strong issue from @undertow.bsky.social.
Just arrived! I'll start mailing subscriber copies next week. You can susbscribe right now at the link below and get both our 2024 issues next week!
