ESC! Magazine
Volume 12, Number 1
Release Date June 9, 2008

Welcome to issue 25 of ESC! Magazine.

Angela Mankiewicz's short, "Laura Hanson's 1990" concludes this issue. Also in this issue is some great new short fiction from Deborah Caslav Covino, Robert Mayette, Gary Beck (making his second appearance in ESC!), and reader favorite Bob Potocki.

Our poetry selections this issue include Coffee House to Go co-host, LB Sedlacek as well as Kellie Powell, Mike Kriesel, Norman J. Olson, Christine Purcell, Mark Wisniewski, William Peacock and long-time contributor to these pages, t. kilgore splake.

The cover, "Untitled", flows from the pen of Norman J. Olson and Paul Tucker is back with another installment of his series, "Vex".

In our Reading Lounge, Poetry Editor Charles Ries has two new chapbook reviews for your reading pleasure as well as an editorial, "Is writing trying to kill me?"

By purchasing the Premium Printed Edition or buying something from our ESC!Mag Gear online store, ESC! Magazine can continue to publish aspiring Writers and Artists for years to come.
