Our favourite fiction quarterly — the Australian produced Torpedo — is soon to release its second issue, which is jam packed with well-written, independent fiction. Torpedo 2 visits the Wild West Within and features fiction bullets from young American talents Yannick Murphy, Tony D’Souza, Greg Ames, Aaron Gwyn, Justin Taylor and Holly Tavel (all McSweeney’s regulars), as well as gunslingers from down under including Josephine Rowe, Luke May and Jon Bauer. Illustrated by two Englishmen and a Belgian, the saloon also has shady comics artists, Jeffrey Brown, Paul O’Connell and Brian Hoang propping up the bar. The release date is mid-May, but it’s available for pre-order now.
