Reviews

[Andy · Rating 4 out of 5]

first exposure to this series - interesting collection and some very engaging short stories

[T P Kennedy · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's easily the most elegant and best produced literary journal I've ever had the pleasure of reading. The collection brings together an incredibly diverse range of writing. Some contributions inspired, some proved and with others I disagreed. There was nothing here, though, that did not make an impact. This is up there with the best of literary reviews such as Granta or the Paris Review.
