I like the cover. In black and white, it helps you to imagine what the Borden front door may have looked like during the holidays in Lizzie's stay there (if Andrew would spring for a wreath - oh, I'll bet they made their own wreaths).

I love the back cover, too.

I enjoyed the poem "Paving Material" by A.L. Bixby (page 59). I like to read some of these old poems, and Stefani picks good ones for 'The Hatchet'. Y'all probably recognize Bixby from his poem on Lizzie Borden in Rebello.

I so enjoyed the poem "Sisters" by Aurora Lewis (page 58). You get a good story plus a good poem in one. :smile:

I loved "Of Tongue or Pen" by David Marshall James (page 48). I thought it was a very creative piece, and I could not stop reading till I reached the end. Usually it's a no-no to write a story, then have it ending up as just a dream. But this was not in that lame category. It pulled you in from the first paragraph. I thought the writing was superb and his characterizations of the Bordens and Bridget were excellent. The ending was great! Thank you, David, for such an intriguing and entertaining story! :grin: The full-page color photo of the statue of Queen Victoria is great! I thought it was perfect for this story. This might be my favorite Lizzie fiction piece ever.

I also enjoyed the interview with David Marshall James (page 78). I had to read that right after I read his "Of Tongue or Pen". I wanted to learn more about this author.

I have always been a big fan of Denise Noe, and still am. I am sorry, but I do not have an interest in Frankenstein (re: Denise Noe's Lizzie Whittlings, "A Fresh Look at Frankenstein", page 66) so I am going to skip the essay. I never cared much for Frankenstein. And some years ago, someone bought me a book on Mary Shelley and Frankenstein and I read it thru and found it boring. I see anything on Frankenstein nowadays and I cringe and don't read/watch it. No offense to Denise. From her track record, I would guess it's probably very good.

I love Eugene Hosey's 'Cutting Room Floor' feature, but I may skip the one in this issue. My doing entirely - I have studied the Borden case for so long (but do not consider myself an 'expert' - there is so much to the case and subject) I am kind of tired of reading about the closing arguments. I might change my mind and read it later, tho as every 'Cutting Room Floor' I thought has been fabulous.
