This was delightful, the literary equivalent of psychedelia. The blurb describes Carrington as “one of the leading lights of the Surrealist movement” and this reflects that. I liked it and want to read more of her stuff.

I picked this up during my recent visit to Latvia and I have to say, I actually picked it up on impulse because it was published in English and had a super kawaii cover.

What’s interesting is that it pulls together a huge range of graphic styles and includes authors from all over the world, and while I did pick up occasional poor English and didn’t love all of the illustration styles, I’m so glad I read it just for the sheer psychedelia alone.

Some of the stories were so weird that I had no idea what was going on, and when I did know what was happening, it was still pretty odd. But I’d recommend picking up an issue of this delightful magazine if at all possible, even if you don’t get this one. It’s quirky, different.
