Caution: Plug for GUD Magazine

May 17, 2007 20:31

Disclaimer:  I'm not on the staff, don't get paid a single copper to plug it, and pay for my legally acquired copies like anyone else.  I'm doing this because I ordered both issues that are out thus far, and think it's a "good" publication.  Pun intended.  Hard copy and/or .pdf versions are available.  Not sure why the graphic isn't showing in the bottom right of the table to subscribe, but you can always click on the link to the magazine's home page.

GUD (pronounced “good”) is Greatest Uncommon Denominator, a print/pdf magazine with 200 pages of literary and genre fiction, poetry, and art. We feature fiction that ranges from 75 to 15,000 words.

Issue 1 comes to life with Darby Larson's "Electroencephalography" where an experiment in robot-building goes terribly awry. And if you've ever woken up with an unexpected physical deformity-say, an arrow in your heart-you'll truly enjoy the next story. There's also a smattering of flash fiction and psychedelia; a straight-out story where things aren't what they seem, poetry that takes you from the perverse to the sublime, some magic realism, science fiction, and a few letters to another species thrown in for good measure. We haven't forgotten those of you with a literary bent. In addition, the artwork in this issue is particularly strong, with oil paintings, watercolors, photography, and photo illustrations complementing the words with which they are paired.

Please let us know what you think of Issue 1, and thanks for reading GUD.
