Thieves Jargon now publishes on a monthly basis. Eight or so stories and poems every thirty days. Read. Digest. Read. Email the writers. Think about that thing you've got on the back-burner. Blast open the backs of our skulls. We exist in or amongst a glut. Thieves Jargon is melting the fat. Recall Beckett: "Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness."
