Jim, I'm almost at the end of The Bygones and it's been a real treat. I read Little Robbie the other evening and it absolutely floored me. A great collection filled with some fabulous storytelling - well done.

The Longest Road I Know is a beautiful new zine by Craig Scott, a journey through the American deep south visiting backwater towns and taking an often poetic look at harsh past via slavery, deprivation & Faulkner.

A schizophrenic with insomnia, hallucinations, strange perception of altered state as default, paranoia, avolition, lack of motivation, etc. is outcast among others, and is like a supernatural creature. A spectral entity of diabolic, repulsive nature, who exists beyond the fringes of society.
