  • Hub, Issue 87

    Ah, these one story issues of Hub are perfect for reading and reviewing in your lunchbreak. Issue 87’s story in Nightlife by Dean Grondo. Wow, that’s disturbing. I think I’m…


  • Crossed Genres, Issue 5

    Issue 5 of Crossed Genres is sci-fi/fantasy crossed with humour. There are five stories. The first is Archimedes Nesselrode by Justine Graykin. The start of this put me off. I…


  • Hub, Issue 85

    I am now reviewing Hub in the same month of its publication. I’m giddy. The story in Issue 85 is Old Clothes by Chris Cyr. I didn’t like this. It’s…

  • Hub, Issue 79

    The story in Issue 79 of Hub is another that plays with format. SBIR Proposal by Richard K Lyon takes the well used guise of a letter from one organisation…


  • Hub, Issue 78

    OK, I’m steadily catching up. We’re on to Issue 78 of Hub, only five issues behind now. The story is Gravestones by Mari Ness and it’s a real treat. I’m…
