Afterword
Very short issue this month. Just over half the size of last
month. With that in mind I planned nearly twice the material in February's
issue, so hang in there. Besides, now that I've completed this in less than a
day regardless of accidentally falling asleep early this morning when I didn't
want to, I can go right back to the Legends Archive Project and make a huge
push to get that completed by year end as planned. Dan says he can get another
batch of scans for me next week. So we just might do it yet.
Next month we have two sets of reviews. Dan
Century will return with a review of local Jersey act G-11, an
industrial/noise, almost Ministry-style music group. You may remember mention
of them in the Palace club review by Johnnie B and I back in No. 78 (May, '98).
In addition to that, the "Off the Shelf" series by yours truly will continue
next month with a review of Stephen King's "Needful Things." Also returning is
Brian Brewer with another cartoon of Charlie the Cannibal Chicken. Jean Croix
from alt.gothic brings us an essay with "What Are You Supposed to Be?" And
more, of course. Cover art, by the way, is by Lee Alverson.
Lee Alverson has just taken over the illustrations for The
Serpent's Inn, an online chapter series of the fantasy genre that I write which
was originally begun with Ravven about a year ago for inclusion in the
DarkAngel Webzine. The next chapter of The Serpent's Inn, "See the Future," is
set to debut in January, '99. If you're interested in checking out the nine
chapters already there and illustrated by Ravven, set your browser to

Well that's it kiddies. Hope you enjoyed this month's issue
and I hope you are here to keep reading next month. I promise it will be larger
in quantity. Soon we'll start running some more game playing sections and
increase Dan Century's review area to include movies as well. That, of course,
is after we finish the Legends Archive Project - this, by the way, has become
my default answer to why I haven't done anything lately. :)
Peace, love and fare thee well. Say g'nite to Mother Earth
before you forget. She went to sleep just under a week ago
