In the first major YA steampunk anthology, fourteen top storytellers push the genre''s mix of sci-fi, fantasy, history, and adventure in fascinating new directions.
Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans solve crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships. Here, fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the genre''s established themes and refashion them in surprising ways and settings as diverse as Appalachia, ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California. Visionaries Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant have invited all-new explorations and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange, and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake it from the ground up. The result is an anthology that defies its genre even as it defines it.

Predatory kraken that sing with—and for—their kin; band members and betrayed friends who happen to be demonic; harpies as likely to attract as to repel. Welcome to a world where humans live side-by-side with monsters, from vampires both nostalgic and bumbling, to an eight-legged alien who makes tea. Here you''ll find mercurial forms that burrow into warm fat, spectral boy toys, a Maori force of nature, a landform that claims lives, and an architect of hell on earth. Through these, and a few monsters that defy categorization, some of today''s top young-adult authors explore ambition and sacrifice, loneliness and rage, love requited and avenged, and the boundless potential for connection, even across extreme borders.
As in their acclaimed and award-winning anthology Steampunk!, Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant have brought together fifteen of the premier voices in speculative fiction to explore the intersection of fear and love—where the monsters within meet, and sometimes blur into, the monsters without—in a haunting, at times hilarious, darkly imaginative volume.
With stories by:M. T. Anderson, Paolo Bacigalupi, Nathan Ballingrud, Holly Black, Sarah Rees Brennan, Cassandra Clare, Nalo Hopkinson, Dylan Horrocks, Nik Houser, Kathleen Jennings, Alice Sola Kim, Joshua Lewis, Kelly Link, Patrick Ness, and G. Carl Purcell

A surprisingly quick turnaround from the previous issue, mere months,a blink in the (imagined) eye of a tree that one day may become a future issue of this zine. The chocolate has barely been bought but manystories have been read and these two (just two? one of them is quitelong) rose to the top of our particular list. We have a suitcase full of stories to look in for the next issue which should be out next May.
This issue features Jessica Bromley Bartram’s nonchalant individual on, as are we all, their way somewhere. May the place we’re going be filled with excellent fiction, unexpected poetry and art, a helping handfrom a fabulous cook, chocolate for those so inclined, and peace in ourtime.

2 x 18. 3 x 12. 4 x 9. 6 x 6. There are many ways to look at or approach the number 36. It is a square and therefore seemingly as far from a prime number as it is possible to get. (37 is a prime: so the previous statement sounds interesting, but is wrong.) There are not 36 short short stories within. But there are at least 2 poems although they are not 18 pages each.
There is a cover from kAt Philbin.
There are stories of possibly eerie encounters; stories of regrettable encounters; stories that do not hold a single encounter, except the imminent encounter between you, the reader, and the writer who is somewhere other in space and now retreating further in time each day. And if the enchantment of fiction — and poetry and nonfiction — works as planned, that magic will take someone’s thought that has been encapsulated in words, those words that were encased by ink, that ink that was pinned to paper, and then maybe, just maybe, that magic will be enacted upon you by the act of reading and you will take into your synapses, the space between your synapses, something of what that far distant writer hoped to impart in these words.

This is the latest issue of our twice-annual zine — 25% of subscribers (not too many in warmer climes) choose the chocolate version — in which we have fictions, poetries, a cooking column (extra useful in these times), and sometimes a few odd other things.

May: gone. June: gone. July: moving fast. Here are gods, snakes, death, and demons. On the lighter, crunchier side: carrots and apples. Twice a year this zine slips out into this world, less internationally than it used to. Maybe I just need to stand at airports and offer it as in-flight reading? Maybe I can persuade an airline to make it their in-flight magazine? How refreshing it would be to pull LCRW out of the seat pocket. Since LCRW only comes out twice a year, that leaves 10 months to be filled in with other zines. Airlines, ping me. We can make this work.
In the meantime, good things are here.

What is on the inside?
Short stories, four poems from Marge Piercy, and a cooking column because once I read a zine with a cooking column and loved it and I thought it would be fun and interesting to ask Nicole Kimberling to write one and I’ve been delighted to read her columns ever since.

About These Authors
Rachel Ayers lives in Alaska, where she writes and hosts shows for Sweet Cheeks Cabaret, daydreams, and stares at mountains. She has a Master’s in Library and Information Science which comes in handy at odd hours. Her fiction has recently appeared in Metaphorosis and Radon Journal, and she is a regular contributor at Tor.com. She shares speculative poetry and flash fiction (and cat pictures) on her Patreon: patreon.com/richlayers.
S.E. Clark is a writer and an artist living in a town outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Her work is often inspired by the places and people around the North Shore and examines the relationship between the fantastical and the mundane. She runs Aprilarium.com, a home for haunted and honeyed work, and has been published in several magazines including Weird Horror, The South Shore Review and The Drum Literary Magazine. This is her second time appearing in LCRW.
Gillian Daniels’ poetry and short fiction have appeared in Nightmare Magazine, Strange Horizons, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies, among more than thirty other publications. She was born in Des Moines, Iowa, grew up in Greater Cleveland, Ohio, and she now writes, works, and haunts the streets in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts. She also makes comics and zines, searches out little-known horror and indie movies, and definitely wants to see pictures of your cat.
Chris Kammerud (chriskammerud.com) is a writer, teacher, and performer. Their work has been short-listed for the Calvino Prize and has appeared in, among other places, Strange Horizons, Phantom Drift, and Bourbon Penn. They are a graduate of the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. They live in Brooklyn.
Nicole Kimberling has only just now started cooking dinner for guests again after almost two years without offering anyone except her wife a plate of food. She’s barely able to contain her excitement about it long enough to function in her day job as editor of Blind Eye Books. She also written several novels and even an audio drama podcast, Lauren Proves Magic is Real!, which, like her column in this zine, is also about food and cooking—just on the supernatural level.
Christine Larson is a Harvey Award nominated cartoonist and illustrator. She has created art for comics, book covers, stories, posters and websites; working with clients such as Dark Horse, Image, IDW, BOOM! Studios, Simon & Schuster and Cartoon Network. An adjunct instructor at the University of the Arts, she teaches courses in sequential art and comics.
Marge Piercy has published 20 poetry collections, most recently, On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light (Knopf, 2020); seventeen novels including Sex Wars. PM Press reissued Vida, Dance the Eagle to Sleep; they brought out short stories The Cost of Lunch, Etc and My Body, My Life. She has read at over 500 venues here and abroad.
Mark Rigney is the author of Deaf Side Story: Deaf Sharks, Hearing Jets and a Classic American Musical (Gallaudet), and his stage plays have been produced in twenty-three U.S. states (including off-Broadway) plus Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, Nepal, and Canada. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild and a past winner of the John Gassner Playwriting Award, the Maxim Mazumdar New Play Prize, and the Panowski Playwriting Award (twice). His short stories have found print, in venues ranging from literary (Witness, The Best of the Bellevue Literary Review) to fantasy and horror (Lightspeed, Tales from the Magician’s Skull, Cemetery Dance, Wyldblood, Black Gate). When not adding to his extensive collection of antique brewery items, he maintains lively outposts at markrigney.net and at the New Play Exchange.
Catherine Rockwood reads and edits for Reckoning Magazine, and reviews books for Strange Horizons. Her poetry chapbook, Endeavors to Obtain Perpetual Motion, is available from the Ethel Zine Press. Another mini-chapbook, And We Are Far from Shore: Poems for Our Flag Means Death, is forthcoming from Ethel in 2023.
Ellen Saunders misses baking. She writes speculative fiction in the drippy part of the Pacific Northwest, sings in a women’s choir, serves as staff two three cats, and occasionally attempts to garden. She has been a member of Wordos in Eugene for more than a decade and has driven both of the more talented members of her older critique group into graduate school. Her work has been published in Daily Science Fiction and a ROAR anthology. You can find her avoiding revision by addictively tweeting at @ twitter.com/MulletBraid, a handle that should explain her lack of fashion sense.
Jennifer Skogen is a writer from Washington state who is lucky enough to look at books all day as Managing Director of Book Buddy Media. She is the author of the young adult series, The Haunting of Grey Hills, with the first volume currently featured on Realm.fm. Her hobbies include tripping over her two cats (who totally trip her on purpose for sympathy treats, she has been gathering evidence), and going on long hikes with her husband.
A.B. Young writes uncanny fiction for sad queers, a demogaphic they also often teach in their capacity as a high school Media teacher. Their very first story was published in LCRW and went on to receive a 2019 PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers. Since then, they have also been published in Baffling Magazine and Heroines Anthology.
