It is always a surprise – unfairly so – to find a small new magazine and realize that it’s really quite good! I had that experience with the previous issue of
Curiosities, and now I see the Winter issue, and it does not disappoint.
Konstantine Paradias offers “
And the Faces Screamed in the Galleries” – a really striking, surrealist story. The paintings in the Louvre have come to life and are attacking humans. This is a case for… the Astrolabe! It’s a wild story that has a lot of fun with its premise and has some philosophical points to make too.
