Themed TENSION – Issue 8 simmers with sex, suspense, danger, fantasy and transgression.

Through 19 contributions by an electrifying contingent of writers and artists, this edition delves deep into how tensions – latent and explicit – trigger emotions and compel actions as they drive humans towards unknowable outcomes, including the tragic, comic, horrific; the ominous and explosive.

With cover art by Laura McCluskey – Issue 8 features further photographic series and artworks by Caleb Femi, Elsa Rouy, Birk Thomassen, Roxy Rezvany, Nanténé Traoré, Elio Mercer and Thuy Vy. 

And fiction and poetry by Rita Bullwinkel, Eloghosa Osunde, Andrew Boryga, Priya Guns, Toby Lloyd, Monica Brashears, Ella Plevin, Dior J Stephens, Ana Cecilia Alvarez, Allegra Mullan and Thea Sun.

Issue 8 was Art Directed & Designed by Thomas Coombes of Guest Editions.
