Lackington's 7: Skins

Our theme, “Skins,” makes us think about bodies, of course, but also metamorphosis, identity, torture, and sex. You’ll find all of these in our summer issue, as well as interplanetary and interdimensional travel, obsession, colonization, supernatural creatures, parasites, and music. There is also an inordinate and welcome number of foxes herein.
