Rated Master! Planet Doom 8/10

Rated Monkeybicycle 8/10

So, yes, Monkeybicycle is a silly name that gets your attention, but they offer plenty of substance, at least from what I've seen in Volume 8. There are hundreds of literary journals out there, more than one could probably every read, but I'm glad I found this one.<br><br>I think my favorite pieces from the book are Scott Geiger's "Inventory," and Curtis Smith's "Lenin!" Both are a bit strange and lonely, and neither make it clear from the outset how the story might turn out.<br><br>Other highlights from the collection include Summer Block's satire "The New Yorker Fiction Section Presents: Killer Robots From Space," Ben Nickol's "Exceptional Red Canoes," and Annam Manthiram's "Variations on a Blossoming Marriage."<br><br>(For a much more complete review, head on over to <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2011/09/monkeybicycle8-springsummer-2011.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
