Here we are, another month, another online issue.<\/p>\n

So let me not waste any time. Our Oct 2011 issue is once again packed with original fiction starting with our cover story which will be available from 4th of October, beautifully illustrated by Hendrik Gericke, \u201cThe Treasons\u201d, by A.A. Garrison which is about a\u00a0 father and son road trip across a desolate land.<\/p>\n

Our novelette for this month is \u201cJiang Shi\u201d, by William Mitchell, in which an opium trader deals with constant chronic pain by sampling his goods, until he finds another source of relief, and that will be online from 11th of October.
\nOn the 18th of October we have \u201cThe Watcher in The Corner\u201d by Michael Hodges, a poignant story about a being who watches a family, silently, from its corner of the ceiling.<\/p>\n

And we close of this issue on the 25th of October with a reprint by Davin Ireland entitled \u201cEngaging the Idrl\u201d and is about a group of soldiers securing a foreign planet.<\/p>\n

We also have our usual non-fiction pieces, firstly the insanity of Mark Sykes\u2019s Sixth Sense of Humour, which this month is about the end of the world and how to avoid it, or, at the very least, make the best of it. The second piece is my pondering about our time in space and whether or not it has passed, or is only just beginning.<\/p>\n

Our feature interview, this month, (published on the 18th) is with Joan De La Haye, whose debut novel Shadows<\/em> will fuck you up for life, but in a good way.<\/p>\n

And so, along with our usual Writers Cornered interviews, that\u2019s our issue for this month. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and do drop us a line if you do, either via email or leave a comment on the site.<\/p>\n

If you can’t wait that long you can buy our issue from our online shop, or Amazon. For printable pdf’s or if you want to save 45% off the cover price you can pick a subscription for only $1.66 (about R12) per month from Weightless Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Till next time\u2026<\/p>\n
