It's a good looking volume, and certainly a smart step for the society.

Very nice volume indeed.
I've read the Prism section, and the couple of stories I've dipped into so far are excellent.

It'd be nice to have the starting page of each magazine listed on the index page though; it's a little awkward to move to the start of, say, Prism, as it stands. Minor gripe though...

I have just started a real-time review of all the fiction and poems in the BFS Journal at my Last Balcony blog.

I've just completed my review of the BFS JOURNAL hardnack book fiction and poems.

An excerpt:

Incry by Joel Lane

“But echoes of the toilet box death kept recurring for me.”

In only 4 pages, this genuine Lane-like gem helps me piece together the book’s gestalt (in a similar way as I earlier pieced together ‘Water Buried’). The dark “atonal” symphony with pent-up screams released as a chorus. Boxes (even an earlier character called Box and, elsewhere, even a Boxer!). Attic or celllar or rocket or within-own-body claustrophobia. Things being “trapped“, waiting for release. So perfect genius to say ‘incry’ not ‘outcry’… We don’t want this book to create an outcry, so much as a thoughtful Horror vision that really stings us into some sort of consciousness of the trapped self, perhaps? A sadness that prepares us for happy release? Or any other expression one can think of to describe these elements in one’s own personality. However, this story may only be a way-station for a different gestalt to emerge when I read on in this book. I do not know as yet. (22 Jan 11)
