A typically enticing set of tales across a smorgasbord of genres that more than live up to the "Cheap Quality Thrills" billing.

The noir is piped in from Rex Weiner and the ever impressive C.W. Blackwell with tales of murder and addiction with Matthew X. Gomez of Broadswords and Blasters taking us into tech noir environs. Jon Zelazny's tale of The Who's manager, Kit Lambert, brings with it a quality akin and setting that feels like it is taken from "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood" (I'll always go with what QT put on the credits rather than what was on the posters).

The horror (, the horror) is brought to us by Hailey Piper with a old time village fable, Hatebreaker with a ghost story and Robert Petyo who looks at the effects of looking into your ancestory and how it can go very wrong. There's even fantasy thrown in, which is far from my favourite genre, but "Stone of Souls" by J.S. Rogers and especially "Service at Sunflower Planet" by J.L. Boekstein were nothing for me to turn my nose up to.

All in all, this 'zine goes from strength to strength and following a move to become part of the Down & Out Books stable hopefully it will be around for a long time to come.
