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.

Nothing in the World

United States

Roy Kesey's riveting debut novel tells the story of John Segovia, an American historian who teaches English at a small university in Piura, on the desert coast of Peru. The narrative moves between John's obsessive search for his wife's killer and his attempts to build a new life for himself and his infant daughter. The storms of El Niño and the ghosts of history that stalk the sands of the Sechura Desert give this novel the sweep of an epic tale. Throughout, Pacazo explores and celebrates the many ways in which we construct the stories we tell of ourselves and those we love. It gives living form to anger and fear and desire, to courage and kindness and strength, and in so doing confirms Roy Kesey as one of the most innovative and compelling American writers working today.
