About This Book

This small speculative magazine issue collects editorials, convention reports, fan commentary, illustrations, and short fiction that ranges from surreal fantasy to satirical pieces. The editor introduces new contributors and artwork, recounts convention experiences, and presents experimental stories that blend dreamlike imagery with grotesque humor. Nonfiction contributions include a caustic critique of science-fiction fandom and columns on art and publishing. Together the items form a patchwork of early fan culture, imaginative short narratives, and outspoken opinions about the direction and values of the genre.
