4.0

Midnight Echo has delivered the goods once again with an issue packed full of dark fiction, poetry, artwork, articles, reviews, and interviews. I was pleased with all of the content but there were just a handful of pieces that really made an impact on me and pushed me to give the issue a rating of four stars... Felicity Dowker's "The Girl from the Borderlands" is a very powerful piece which is written in a biographical style and thrusts the life of a troubled girl in the reader's face, "Jar Baby" by Michelle Jager and "Always a Price" (for which Joanne Anderton won the 2012 AHWA Short Story Comp) both hit hard and give the reader food for thought, and Kathryn Hore's "Tooth" was a classic horror tale and definitely the urghiest (if you know what mean) of this issue.
