AUGUR ISSUE 7.3

Sometimes, to get to the futures you need, you have to get real about the past and present. Often, those realities are dark. This issue is about wading through it, standing in it, taking a look at how those truths can transform us bodily, sometimes in ways we desire, and often, against our wishes.  Welcome to the dark side of Augur—contemporary Canadian gothic, body-horror, surrealism, sci-fi, and more—brimming with the physicality of transformation, slicing deep into the underbelly of language.

Check the links below for samples from our longer pieces. If you want to dig in now, the full, designed issue is available now for purchase!
