"They bulldozed the orchard last year, slapped down pavement, planted a Texaco where the trees used to be. Some nights you can still smell the fruit fermenting beneath the asphalt, the air holding on like it remembers" —Ali C :: “pyramus: root & ghost.” alocasia.org/2025/10/20/a...

@fionamckay.bsky.social said some incredibly cool things about Family Night, but I’ll be forever the most pleased with “the best werewolf sex you’ll ever read.” Family Night (@masonjarpress.bsky.social) is available for preorder here: masonjarpress.com/chapbooks-1/...

Bright magenta background with the cover for Family Night taking up the right hand third. White text reads:

“FAMILY NIGHT is a vivid kaleidoscope of visceral detail that animates surreal stories of transformation, love, and grief. Family is slippery here, squirming from the reader’s damp, sweaty fingers: fathers are absent-present, mothers are sometimes-absent, sometimes-bloody. Grandmothers and aunts do the real work of parenting. We get lost in the intricacies of buildings that are mazes of the past, and mazes that are metaphors for love. There are awakenings. There is so much blue in sky and water. There are cars that shelter, cars that harm, and fire, fire, fire everywhere. And the best werewolf sex you’ll ever read.” — Fiona McKay, author of The Lives of the Dead

one of the greats by one of the greats: Brigit Pegeen Kelly’s “The Leaving”

The Leaving
My father said I could not do it, but all night I picked the peaches.
The orchard was still, the canals ran steadily.
I was a girl then, my chest its own walled garden.
How many ladders to gather an orchard?
I had only one and a long patience with lit hands and the looking of the stars which moved right through me the way the water moved through the canals with a voice that seemed to speak of this moonless gathering and those who had gathered before me.
I put the peaches in the pond's cold water, all night up the ladder and down, all night my hands twisting fruit as if I were entering a thousand doors, all night my back a straight road to the sky.
And then out of its own goodness, out of the far fields of the stars, the morning came, and inside me was the stillness a bell possesses just after it has been rung, before the metal begins to long again for the clapper's stroke.
The light came over the orchard.
The canals were silver and then were not, and the pond was—I could see as I laid the last peach in the water—full of fish and eyes.

I also really love this infographic we did. The magazine archive is a collaborative effort. We've scanned thousands of magazines, but we're also relying on years of scanning work by the community and partnerships with the industry. It takes a village!

30% of our magazines were provided by Retromags. 33.4% were scanned by the Video Game History Foundation. Magazine publishers and staff provided another 10.8%. In declining order, other contributor groups are "Various Internet Archive users," CGW Museum, Out-of-Print Archive, and other community groups.
