Issue 28 explores the politics of domesticity, the confusion of desire, and dreams of mysterious strangers, flying over borders, and living under a seat in an abandoned movie theater like a desperate, hunched troll. All that, plus tropical maladies, suicidal impulses, sexual obsession, decaying memories, stolen trucks, honking cars, creepy houses, electric crickets, humiliation, and writers who die too young. It’s a vulnerable issue — truthful and deluded.

Featuring new short fiction, poetry, CNF, translations, and art from Cástulo Aceves (translated by Michael Langdon), Victoria Ballesteros, Nikki Barnhart, Sophie Bebeau, Israel Bonilla, Ellis Elliott, Vilde Fastvold (translated by Wendy H. Gabrielsen), Bo Huston, J.G. Jesman, Marream Krollos, Edward Lee, Marina Mariasch (translated by Ellen Jones), Blue Neustifter, Evan Nicholls, Dale Peck, Matthew Roberson, Evan Williams, and David Wojciechowski.
