Great non-fiction, as per usual, in the new issue. Volk's column touched my heart; Chris Fowler's was fascinating; and Mike O'Driscoll's was just plain crazy - but in a great way!
Loved it.

Alas, I shan't be seeing my copy any time soon, I think, as there is a postal disruption in Canada at the moment. Sigh.

Received mine this morning - looks great -
particularly, upon turning its front cover, I immediately see the Heather Horsley designed front cover of 'Nemonymous Night' shining out.  _________________ MY WEBSITE: www.nemonymous.com

Another strong issue in which I enjoyed all the stories. The Johnstone just edged out the Kaysen as my favourite, Carole does dialect based dialogue so well, and I felt it fitted well thematically with her story in the Dark Minds Anothology.
Peter Tennant's reviews were, as usual, a cut above what you find in more mainstream magazines and not for the first time Stephen Volk's section was probably the overall highlight of the magazine for me.
Cracking stuff!

I thought the progression from Fowler to O'Driscoll to Time Keeping was smooth indeed, with the themes of time and immortaility (of sorts) linking them all very effectively.
A very satisfying issue I thought, though I couldn't help feeling Kaysen's should have lingered a little, taken its time. But that's probably just because I wanted more of it.

Thanks for the kind words, Ross
Overall, I think my favourite was Davies' The Harvesting...a very deserved winner of the WHC contest.
Loved all the columns, as usual (something I must confess to often skipping in other publications!), but skipped to Pete's reviews first, cause I love em.
Also thought Richard Wagner's artwork was amazing. Loved it.

This was a terrific issue - one of the best for a while. I hope the planned Daniel Kaysen collection is due out soon as I am always enthralled by his writing. 'Hail' was easily my favourite of the issue. It always strikes me that his prose looks like lines of poetry on the page, and has a similar effect to the ear. A wonderful rhythm and pacing. I find the brevity quite inspiring.
