Jason B Sizemore (ed.). Paperback, 96pp.


This is the first issue I’ve seen of this rather impressive magazine. The cover looks very professional, and the colours are bold and attractive. Of the many stories within its well-produced pages, my favourite was "Bad Sushi", by the very glamorous Cherie Priest (as evidenced by the photographs accompanying the follow-up interview), a disturbing piece of Lovecraftian horror in a distinctively unusual setting.

The first thing I read, though, was an interview with William F Nolan, author of the novel Logan’s Run, on which the film was based. He comes across as slightly testy perhaps unsurprisingly, given that the interviewer hadn’t taken the trouble to read the novel first!

An account of a road trip to World Horror 2007 fell a bit flat for me, but would make entertaining reading for anyone who had made the same trip, or had ever wanted to. SWT
