OUT OF OUR MINDS Here we are again with a strange mix of erotic horror, weird fantasy and generally scary stuff. Special thanks this issue to Nancy Olshausen for her excellent typesetting and Ron Barre for financial support. Due to the size of this issue, we had to drop your letters, Jean Claxton reviews, along with several stories we had hoped to include. Next issue, we’ll offer fiction from David Bruce, Kathleen Jurgens, Jeffery Lewis, John Maclay and much more. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this issue and tell us what you think. For the time being, we are still the first house on the left.
