I dare you to read the "About" section here and not feel desperately-needed optimism and heart-racing excitement about the possibilities of a literary publication truly in and of a place. Follow the work of these good folks, and subscribe if you can.

If you're old school East Bay -- say, Berkeley and Oakland in the 80s -- you want to watch the film Freaky Tales, streaming on HBO Max.

If you're not, you should watch it anyway.
