      This extraordinary novel marries magical thinking with gritty reality and quite a lot of disturbing violence. It’s not quite like anything I’ve read before and it took me a while to settle into the style of writing but, once I did, I was hooked. The

      The Library of Gromma

      Jul 10, 2023

      Zac was sweating and panting as he reached the top of the hill. The crooked beams of the library loomed over him. He dropped the buckets of water, swore at the few drops that spilled, and escaped the piercing morning sun in the shade of the library.

      On Invisible Beauty

      Mar 15, 2018

       Beauty spins and the mind moves. To catch beauty would be to understand how that impertinent stability in vertigo is possible. But no, delight need not reach so far. To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended

      1. I have one memory of my father reading to me. He’d returned home from work with a gift: the latest Dr. Seuss book, If I Ran the Circus.  I can still see him standing in the doorway, book in hand, his coat unbuttoned and hat a little askew, a smile

      From the Editor

      Welcome, readers, to the January issue of Spaceports & Spidersilk. The holiday season is ending, and soon the lights, the tinsel, and all the entertainments of the December festivities will soon be just another set of memories.

      And yet, sometimes it is all too easy to be haunted by such memories. A person can lie in bed, unable to sleep, replaying and worrying over things that happened. Did the outfit they wore to the holiday party really look as good on them as they thought at the time? If they had moved just one step to the left while dancing, would they still have caused punch to spill all over their teacher? If they had performed a puppet show for a different audience, would the results still have been the same?

      It is natural, I think, to second-guess and wonder. Sometimes a person can feel trapped, as though not only their past actions, but their future ones are inescapable, as if they are fated to live and act to a specific, limited pattern.

      In this issue you will find stories and poems that deal with people trying to change their past, their future, and even the identities they seem to have been born into. You will also find a new Sneezy story, along with other fun stories and poems.

      After all, sometimes it’s better to stop worrying about your past, your future, your identity... and just immerse yourself in the lives and adventures of others.

      Why doesn't he ever take you there? she asked.

      It's not his place. He makes the dolls; what they do after is their business.

      That's what he tells you, is it? She smiled, softening the harsh words by taking his hand in hers. She
