Overall review
The sixth and final issue of Feverish continues in the pulpy, speculative vein of its previous periodicals. Of course, there are the usual female pin-ups in various states of undress, whose themes often reflect the works of the authors. (Terry Bizarro’s six erotic and
elemental-themed paintings are superb and eye-catching.) It is worth owning, if you are an adult fan of small press magazines and out-there sex works.
Stories, other works
“The Lich-Queen” – Scott Couturier: Sex-, death- and supernatural-themed versework.
Solid read.
“Last House on Splattergore Avenue” – Alex S. Johnson: Atmospheric,
fear-adrenalized, gory and hilarious tale about a high school senior’s walk
home from school. Excellent, perverse.
“Aleena, the Pitiful She-Devil – Part Two”
– Lucas Mangum: Aleena’s bloody,
barbaric quest for vengeance continues. Fun read.
“Fire Sprite” – Ashley Dioses: Fire and sex amount to the same thing in this
four-line poem. Entertaining and concise.
“Don’t Go in There” – John Wayne Comunale: Blood and a bar
are dominate this microtale.
“Winter Baskets” – Zeb Carter: Macabre, tender story about dead babies being taken to
a surprising place. Excellent, one of my favorite reads in this issue.
“To His Anything-But-Coy Mistress” – Frank Coffman: Lust-focused sonnet “with
a couple triplets thrown in”.
“Absolution” – M.F. Wahl: A young girl, trapped in a basement, investigates her
grim environs. Solid read.
