This is the Kristi DeMeester issue. And as such has a story by Ms. DeMeester and also an interview which at best was only fair. The story, of a woman taking a weekend vacation from her husband, while full of atmosphere, was not one of her best.
For me the highlight of Volume 5 Issue 4 was the Brian Keene story telling of the exploits of a man who may be responsible for keeping life on earth safe from interdimensional invaders, or perhaps he is a psycho, psyched out serial killer full of delusions. Mr. Keene nicely works in other aspects of his oeuvre making this quite a fun read.
What let me down the most was Kevin Lucia's "Horror 101" installment titled "Quiet Horror". I had hoped that the war between the genre's ended a number of years ago. Perhaps Mr. Lucia is trying to revive the emotions or the battle between "quiet" and "loud" horror. This war was fought out long ago, and to revive it once again, no matter what side one is on, is not a good thing unless such a move is to rekindle a fire long expired. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the subject, though reviving the topic seem like beating a dead horse, with a dead cow.

This is now one of my favorite literary magazines. It's got so many amazing little stories, each one dark and powerful without being over the top. It very much pays it forwards to Twilight Zone style fiction, and is the best example of Quiet Horror Fiction I've ever sampled. And please, for the love of Cthulhu, LISTEN TO THEIR RADIO PLAYS!!!

Read solely for Brian Keene's Delayed Exit. Another great short story by BK. The Exit is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in fiction.
