Unlike those wilted roses and the remnants of the Whitman’s Sampler that have calcified into gum-lacerating shrapnel, we’re here to tell you our Valentine’s Day issue is still good. In fact, let’s just call it the “February Issue,” while reminding everyone in the world to read it, possibly for the second or third time.

It’s all about love and love, of course, is timeless and eternal. Yep, the pain never ends.

Finally, we wanted to remind you that The Following’s on tonight! You know what that means? You should skip it and read some actual Edgar Allan fucking Poe.
