Product Description
The LGCR's second issue's cover features artwork beholden to our aesthetic of ransacking the past for amazing nonsense, and the interior artwork is as creepy and wonderful as we'd hoped it'd be. All the artwork was done by Joy Kolitsky (the advertisements, too, which are possibly worth the price of admission themselves). Not to mention ten really fantastic stories, including one about an existential hero who lives with his mom, one that includes both a dog and an astronaut, and another set in a sort of Japan.

Lots of good stories November 27, 2004
I ordered the LGCR because they were saying good things about it on
the literary blogs (Maud Newton, Elegant Variation, etc.) and I
thought the cover was cool, but I didn't really know what to expect.
I've picked up literary journals before, but they've always bored me.
This one's different. It's got really great-looking artwork and the
stories are unusual and dark and interesting. I'm pretty picky when
it comes to short stories, but the ones they chose impressed me a lot.
I'm glad I bought it.

After reading Issue 1, I had high expectations for number 2. It didn't let me down. In fact, I liked this issue even more than the first. Issue 2 contains a colorful selection of "fish in a bucket" (as printed on the cover). The stories share a subdued disquietude that left me unhinged, but not without a bemused smile. They are smart and meaty with lots to chew on, like Murder Journal, about an imaginative "existential hero." I recommend this Issue, along with Issue 1 for those seeking a solid variety of stories that reflect absurdities and inner-conflicts we are all familiar with, but don't always acknowledge.
