Editor Darin Bradley writes that the fifteenth issue of Behind the Wainscot, entitled “The Reading” is guest-edited by Jonathan Wood, and is now live and available for free at this link.
Bradley writes that “each piece is a narrative interpretation of a different tarot card, each taking a single card as its departure point. The result is a set of cards that shimmer between the real and unreal, between the borders of genre, and that of an utterly unique reading.”
