To all the Insidious Reflections crew:
I received my hard copy of the magazine the other day, along with my check, and wanted to send everyone thanks and congratulations on a wonderful first issue. The zine is incredibly well done from cover to cover, and I'm inordinately proud to be in it. Even if my story does look shabby in comparison to all the great stories you've got there.
Seriously, you've got a wonderful selection of styles and themes in the magazine, as well as interesting interviews and reviews (IR contains the only interview I've seen so far in which subject and interviewer both admit to liking the remake of Dawn of the Dead - every other review I saw took the all-too-easy "it's a remake of a classic, so it must suck" road) and great illustrations. I'm not going to pick favourite stories here, because they really were all good - and let me tell you, it's been a while since I found a horror zine that didn't have at least one flat story in it. When and if you gear up to start charging people for dead tree versions of IR, I'd say you've got a winner on your hands.
So, job well done all around, and I hope I'll have a few more suitably insidious stories for you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Jeremiah Job Levine
