With some stories it is the art that arrives with you first; with some it is the words – neither of these is a bad thing, they just speak of different techniques perhaps, but with Invisible Inc from Brendan McGinley and Tomas Aira they’ve hit their stride from the first page and created a great [...]

I read all kinds of books – why? Because I like to find things out. Would I have hunted this book out or even picked it up in the normal course of things? No, probably not. The way it came into my hands was via a guy who was doing a follow-up after one of [...]

Out Of The Gutter never pulls any punches and Issue 5 is no exception. If you like your fiction mean and dirty; want writing that has that gut-churning authenticity which keeps you coming back for more, then this is the place. Matthew Louis gives us stories from Charlie Stella, Vicki Hendricks, and others that provide [...]

From one book of essays to another; from one book which I found essential to another which I found to be the total opposite, and it pains to me say that. I like David Mamet – I like his films and I like the plays that I have read; I’ve enjoyed a couple of interviews [...]

The Catcher In The Rye is one of those books that seems to suffer from being part of the landscape. I had forgotten, until a recent re-reading, how vital a voice this book has. There are a few terms which might give away the fact that it was not written in the present day but [...]
