  • Print-on-demand dark fantasy magazine. The date and price of this publication is from Amazon.com as of 2015-04-18.
  • Contributing editors: John Boden, Catherine Grant, Barry Le Dejasu, and Zachary C. Parker.
  • "Cover design" by Mikio Murakami.
  • Page count includes both covers, but does not include the last twenty-two pages of blank pages and house ads.
  • For some reason Simon Marshall-Jones is given co-writer credit on the title page for the continuing essay series "Bloodstains & Blue Suede Shoes" although Bracken MacLeod is given credit in the article and at the article's ending in a short bio paragraph.
  • There are uncredited, and small unsigned faded photographs that are used as filler and decorations. They are on pages 4, 6, 10, 26, 46, 58, 80, and 86, and which don't seem to illustrate anything.
  • "Howling Through the Keyhole" is a column in which the authors discuss the writing of their stories.
