GUD: Greatest Uncommon Denominator, Issue 0

4.6/5 ( ratings)

Issue 0 leads with Debbie Moorhouse's Sundown, a near-future science fiction reflection on death and life. It follows through with a solid variety of works from semi-gritty fantasy; far-future time travel; modern sci-fi humor; historical paranormal; mainstream literary; a fable; poetry that doesn't rhyme but has a rhythm ; reports concerning poetry and software and narrating a journey to a poetry conference in Taiwan; and art of all sorts, from humorous and surreal line drawings through haunting brush work and even a single-panel comic from a celebrated illustrator.

Not only is GUD an increasingly excellent magazine (just check out their reviews!) but my work is in a couple of issues. Which makes me VERY happy.

This first issue of GUD really defies genre. Not all of it is great, but a lot of it is fun to read.200 pages of variety, and as a pdf file it took longer to read.
