A labor of love by inspired fans, this magazine celebrates the literature of an original American treasure, R. A. Lafferty. Praised by Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe, compared to Borges and Garcia Marquez, Lafferty eludes genres. Sanguine about the availability of his writing, Lafferty fans created this enthusiastic mosaic of conversation, critique, fiction, poetry and art. Now, it's your turn.

“If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.” – G.K. Chesterton

“The best time to write a story is yesterday. The next best time is today. By tomorrow, you may have lost something.” – R.A. Lafferty
