Welcome to Issue 19. Fantasy is potential, myth and hallucination. Fantasy is the infinite blackness that precedes creation. It is what exists beyond the soft edge of reality. Fantasy, more lifelike than realism, rejects the concrete. DH Lawrence once wrote, “Once a book is fathomed, once it is known, and its meaning fixed or established, it is dead.” To be alive is to be unfathomed. We owe our greatest inventions to fantasy. Fantasy is our survival.

This issue, we explore the seeds planted by creative minds. Step into our fantasy. May it kindle, titillate and inspire.
