Here you will find a modern-day saint. Judas as a bitter girl trapped in a forbidden romance. A Little League boys’ baseball team suffering a heartbreaking defeat. Frenzied preteens at a Pentecostal summer camp, filled with faith and desperation. Volume Four features larger than life religious figures appearing alongside quiet,ordinary moments of humans looking for meaning in loss, for certainty in uncertainty, for God or gods or a world without them.
A meeting between myth and truth, filled with darkness and heat. Like a premonition dream made of fragmented stories remembered half from the Bible, half from your own erratic thoughts of making out in the backseat with a ghost from your past. What future it foretells is for you to interpret.
This volume includes work from Dalton Day, Kristina Haynes, Grace Shuyi Liew, Bec Winnel, Sara June Woods, and other fantastic writers and artists.
