This issue of For Page & Screen Magazine feels, to us, unlike any other. These stories are bold. They are graphic and violent and tragic and beautiful. We are privileged to work with authors who understand that—while life needs both pain and joy—unmitigated violence and blind faith in the systems we participate in can only end in ruin.
As such, we present these stories. Stories that play with genre and perception, stories that question what it means to heal and what it means to have hope, stories that challenge the reader to consider what role, unwitting or otherwise, we have played in these cycles of violence.
We at For Page & Screen strongly believe that horror, as with all genres, can be as deeply cathartic as it is critical. While this is not, by theme, a “horror” issue, we hope that you’ll open yourselves up to the more graphic nature of these works so that we may understand and appreciate the criticisms, the joy, and the pain these wonderful authors have come to share with us.
With Love,
For Page & Screen Editorial Team
