This edition bookends the 10th anniversary of the very first issue of ESC! Magazine and features all new fiction by Brendan Connell and Bob Potocki.  I'm also happy to bring you the start of a new trilogy by ESC! regular, Joyce Bradshaw.

&, our poetry section, highlights works by contributing editors Guy Qualls and Robert Potter as well as a new piece by poet Farida Mihoub.

Our cover illustration is based on "Vex: Dia De Los Muertos" (also found inside) a continuing chapter of the Vex saga by Paul Tucker.

Finally, page 20 brings you a new Meet the Author section.  This issue features writer Miriam Lee, someone whose name long-time readers may recognize.  Miriam's work first appeared in the Summer 1993 issue of ESC! Magazine.
