In a room high above the ruins a man sits reviewing his life. From his childhood in Transylvania to his activities in Admiral Horthy’s Hungary, he recalls the part he played in the secret history of some of the pivotal events of the interwar years. But is he alone? Who – or what – might be helping him to remember? And what are the stories that he, in turn, is told? Dehiscence by D.P. Watt 62 pages Herein you will find some seeds, of Agrostemma Coronaria, Calla Æthiopica, Lilium Pomponium, and Campanula Carpatica. They may flourish. You will find some people; Hieronymus L., Stefan H., Agnieszka T., and Dr Anvar Z. They may wither. You will find some things; a peepshow box, a Russian doll, a suitcase, a speculum. They can never die! The Last Gold of Decayed Stars by Colin Insole 60 pages, 3 page colour foldout Anna Rhulen has been bequeathed a journal and a small collection of photographs, by her grandmother, relating prewar adventures, in a strange town, on the hinterland of the old Kingdom of Illyria. The journal mentions a secret, kept hidden from the old woman's family, that only Anna can uncover. She visits the town, on the Adriatic coast, once a haven for exiles and runaways, with its mysterious river and places like The Street of Banished Time, where past, present and future, are blurred and intertwined. But she finds that memories of the old town have been deliberately buried, expunged or destroyed; reappearing only in visions or dreams that disturb and unsettle the modern inhabitants.
