Reviews for Electric Literature No. 3

[lisapeet · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I think this was my favorite of all of them so far. It was cohesive as a collection, the stories all grabbed me (including Rick Moody's, much more so than when it was on Twitter -- I think some things are just not meant to be), and I liked the incidental artwork very much. One more to go -- is that it for my subscription?
