Goulash (Gulyás in the original Hungarian) is primarily a soup, or stew, comprised of various and sundry ingredients, both hearty and well-spiced. In both Czech and Slovak, gulás means "mishmash". GOULASH, the new anthology from Danse Macabre, celebrates well-spiced letters brimming in colorful tastes, tones, styles, and voices, an international literary stew to satisfy bookish hungers for characters we have never met, images we have not yet dreamt, voices from afar - and within - we may never have otherwise heard. Drawn from the locked coolers of issues lost to time, GOULASH is gourmet DM distilled, featuring a global buffet of tasty fictions and artisanal poetry...not to mention more than a few surprise ingredients readers worldwide have come to expect from DM for over a decade. GOULASH will not only satiate your imaginative appetites but slake your thirst for colour and zest in an increasingly deflavourised cultural landscape.

A satire on totalitarianism features farm animals that overthrow their human owner and set up their own government, only to develop into an equally corrupt society.

Bill Mayer lures us into the rich physicality of a desire that not only animates the features upon the mask of the real, but enlarges our yearning for what lies behind.
