Issue 43 is the runaway American dream. Less chrome-wheeled and fuel-injected, more disillusioned and dejected. We bookend our June installment with stories about addiction – one with killer drones, the other involves someone getting shot by a turkey. In between there’s war, PTSD, recession, and a bread van. That’s right, we said a bread van. Also, our first ever poem.

It’s a bit of a walk on the dark side, but we think you can handle it. The weather’s getting warmer and the writing’s always good. You’ll be okay if you don’t stray too far off the path.

In fact, Issue 43 needs you. Redeem the cynicism, heal the violated.

Hiho silver-o, deliver it from nowhere.
