a note from your editor . . .
Here’s to celebrating the High Horror Days! Whether you beckon the spirits to come hither or ward them off with spells (amid the requisite banging of pots and pans), we hope you enjoy the tricks-and-treats prepared for you by this issue’s poets. Please join me in thanking them!
Until next time . . .
Yours in the darkness, the light, and the interstitial spaces where shadows linger!
