Posted on February 8, 2016 Leave a Comment
Women in Horror Month is great, but how about we include women from the beginning, and all year long? It was always an important aspect of Gamut, from day one. 62% of our authors are women; 53% of our poets are women; and 50% of our staff are women: Damien Angelica Walters, Letitia Trent, Mercedes […]
Gamut Magazine: What’s This Website All About?
Posted on December 22, 2015 44 Comments

My review of the debut novel THREATS by Amelia Gray is now live up at The Nervous Breakdown. This is a sly, subtle, unsettling and touching novel. I remember the first time I heard Amelia read, at Blake Butler’s Scorch Atlas release party here in Chicago. It was the first time I’d met her, or […]

In addition to doing book reviews at The Nervous Breakdown, I’ll also be doing interviews. My first is with one of my favorite authors, Amelia Gray. I hate to even limit her by calling her a small press darling (in the vein of Parker Posey, indie film darling) as she is a voice to be […]
