There’s short fiction from Christopher T. Dabrowski, Jane Downing, Andrew Leggett, and Yurii Tokar, and creative non-fiction from Elizabeth Foulke.

Finally, read reviews of Cathy Altman’s Stars like Salt, Angela Costi’s The Heart of the Advocate, Stephanie Powell’s Invisible Wasp, Vanessa Proctor’s On Wonder, and David Terelinck’s Small Epiphanies.

We have implemented a new reviews system and you can read about it at New Books to Review.

Have fun,
