So come out for an evening of sexy readings and rad beats in a venue that looks like something out of a David Lynch film, starting at 9pm. Facebook Event here.

In an attempt to keep with the times, because, y’know, the times, they are a-changin’, we will be posting a story from a past issue every week in a format that you can read on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
That way, you can read it anywhere – you can read it in a box, and you can read it with a fox (and we hope you do!).
This week’s comes from Issue One - “Sex Fiction” by Andrew Battershill.
