Issue #3: Happy Valentine's Day, You Poor Bastards

/

Ok, we're one day early. But hear me out.

This morning we published Issue #3 of our young magazine, and it's a fun one. We asked for stories about "love", and you sent some classics. And we were desperate to get it out the door before you head out and make some REALLY bad decisions.

So: consider Issue #3 your "How To" guide for navigating this treacherous holiday. Here's how to use it:

1. Check out the beautiful, heartbreaking new cover from Bryan Flynn, above. Look back at your own shitty, hand-made card. Consider your options.

2. Open up and find a heavy emphasis on comedy about old lovers, new lovers and desperate lovers (aren't they all the same?). Mona Awad, Kira Hesser and Marc Watkins opened their hearts to you — won't you do the same?

3. To close it out, please enjoy a delightfully creepy voyeur piece from John Paul Davies that'll just demolish your trust in nice boys from the local university.

Helpful, right?

Because, honestly, isn't that how love works? Find a good-looker, have some laughs, make a little sexy-time, and then they stab you in the fucking back.

If you haven't subscribed yet, check us out on iTunes here. You get a 7 day free trial, and then it's just $3.99/month ($1/story).

Have a nice day.

Issue #2

/

We're very excited to publish Issue #2 of The Fog Horn today. This issue features awesome new short stories by Brianne Kohl, Matthew David Brozik, T.E. Grau and Conor Powers-Smith.

Thanks to Bryan for an incredible, haunting cover, and Conor, for finding a way to fit the word "wheelbarrow" onto an iPhone screen without sacrificing our beautiful titles. 

We embraced a darker tone this month, reflecting the relentless, encroaching depths of winter and an unmistakable societal sensation of something gone amiss. Security, safety and trust seem to be crumbling. Otherwise innocent symbols, objects and people — from snow drifts to doctors, from computers to authority figures with the power to regulate traffic lanes — now belong on the same list of terrifying things that go "bump" in the dark. As we wrap ourselves tighter and tighter against the cold and the fear, will we run from these monsters? Question them? Welcome them? Challenge them? Be consumed by them? Become them?

This, and more, in Issue #2. Enjoy.

Quinn
