Barrelhouse 12

Barrelhouse 12 includes fiction by Roxane Gay, Tara Laskowski, Jen Michalski, Dave Scrivner, Jared Gottlieb, Tracy Gonzalez, Dan Townsend, Sam Martone, Aaron Burch, and Amber Sparks, with stories about baseball, game shows, video games, and death, death, death. We also have poetry by Dan Boehl, Daniel Carter, Dan Chelotti, S. Whitney Holmes, Andrea O'Rourke, Masin Persina, Tommy Pico, Nate Pritts, and Corey Zeller. Plus new Kanye West poems by Sarah Blake! But wait! There's more! Essays by Rolf Potts, Jeff Chon, Lucas Mann, and Justin Lawrence Daughtery. And this issue includes one of the best illustrated stories we've ever published: "A Hypothetical Universal Solvent," written by Gina Keicher and adapted and illustrated by the fabulous Chelsea Martin.

That is so much awesome, awesome stuff! And this issue is the first in our new print redesign, so you'll quite literally be getting slightly more Barrelhouse bang for your buck, as we get slightly larger in size, and also slightly better and more contemporary looking in design. Get it.
