Not One of Us #88
Published: October 2026
Theme: New World Order
“Welcome to our New World Order issue. We have a police inspector in post-Soviet former Yugoslavia using an unconventional camera to solve a murder; a freedom fighter in a frighteningly plausible future where the world order to which we have been accustomed has broken down; sailors on a near-future Earth where nations compete to obtain time travel but meet unexpected competition out of time; a moon-sister’s choice to change; and a couple involuntarily trading minds, disrupting a once conventional marriage. Our poets speak of hell as a destination location; words like blades and a jar of words unspoken; stale silence and glorious rupture.”
