F(r)iction #13: Comeback
$25.00
Our Comeback Issue raises a glass to the underdogs and the southpaws, the survivors of all the punches this world can throw at us.
Our Pioneering Writer features the words and sixty-year career of award-winning industry legend Joyce Carol Oates, as well as a chapter from her 2019 novel My Life as a Rat. In our Debut Author Feature, you’ll find an interview with Emily A. Duncan, as well as her blood-drenched debut fairy tale Wicked Saints. For powerful expressions of identity and grit, look no further than our community feature with Words Without Walls; for beautiful art, dive into Sarah Winifred Searle’s comic “Afterworld,” in which three courageous animate toys venture into the lush, post-apocalyptic world beyond their home.
The stories in this issue say it all: We’re here to stay and ready to go the distance.
