Sotto Voce is an intriguing zine. A new market, Issue One went live last week and I've been picking through the substantial index of offerings for a few days now.

I thought Nannette Croce's "The Foundations of Churchill" was particularly well written. Croce's atmospheric piece is a commentary on the shifting nature of safety and security in America. It's well paced and the narrator is perceptive, if a little ineffectual.

I don't care how much they bug me, I won't let our children join a creepy choir...

Thank you for your comments on "Foundations." I've been shopping versions of that story for some time so I owe a debt of gratitude to SV for putting it out there. I've worked with online publications for several years and now publish a blog
zine writer. I'm glad I found you through my alerts and I'll certainly add your great blog to me Favorites.

Ok they are all creepy. Now on to my thoughts. The Halloween theme has always scared the crap out of me (thanks to my brother). Lets say that your swiming at the beach and you hear JAWS? what are you gonna do? get the hell out of the water. I say they both tie for first place
