excerpt from issue 3
"The Isiola monastery has sunk into the sea. That’s what Bishop Dakar’s letter said, but I didn’t believe it— and not just because I’d have to blame myself if it were true. Yet seafoam gathers where tide-powered turbines once crouched, raising and lowering the monastery for a hundred years." Read more of "A Song, a Prayer, an Empty Space" by Darja Malclom-Clarke...

Issue 3
Flight, the dream of humanity for years without number, has come a long way since the Wright brothers flew almost the length of a Boeing 747 using a lawnmower engine. The US Space Shuttle takes off like a rocket and lands like a plane. An ice runway has been built in Antarctica to facilitate flights from Hobart. Solar-powered aircraft grace our skies. And GUD Issue Three seeks to fly to even stranger places—why not take your seat, buckle yourself in, and enjoy the ride?

"Sparks and Shadows" is a collection of poems, short stories, and essays by GUD contributor Lucy Snyder ('Sublety', Issue 2). Snyder has a unique voice and her work is almost instantly recognisable. Dive into this collection and you begin to feel like you're swimming around inside her head. It's not necessarily comfortable in there, but it's certainly interesting.
