Issue 4 is bookended by two of the best stories to have ever appeared in this zine. Guan Un’s ‘Feel the Burn’ collects emails from an increasingly belligerent gym owner as he tries to get around the problem of a giant spider in the cardio room; it’s perfectly realised and very funny. Kay Hanifen’s lost-documents story, ‘The Lost Park of Max Westgate’, is terrific and terrifying: a billionaire plans a theme park filled with human-animal hybrids, and its head scientist’s journal tells the sorry tale of how it all went hideously wrong (think ‘Abandoned by Disney’ by way of The Island of Dr. Moreau). I also enjoyed ‘Which World Ending Nightmare Are You?’ by Susan Taitel, in which a BuzzFeed quiz gets Lovecraftian, and Sara Omer’s cult story through penpal letters, ‘We See Red’. The prize for most original concept goes to Annika Barranti Klein’s ‘Transmissions from a Dying Whale’, a librarian’s log of the 1,000+ days she spends alone in the ‘World Library’... which is inside a whale. As ever, a highly recommended anthology overall!
