Welcome to Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #78: Returns, edited by Stephen Theaker and John Greenwood! It's here at last! A year late but ready to rock!This issue contains four pulse-pounding short stories:
- "Two Copyrights Don’t Make a Wrong" by Dan Muenzer
- "Drawermongers" by William Foulke
- "Any Other Way" by Michael Hart
- "The Red Trees" by Rafe McGregor.
In the Quarterly Review, Stephen Theaker, Douglas J. Ogurek and Rafe McGregor review books by Ian Bain and chums, Matthew Hughes, Rachel Harrison, Christina Dalcher, Joe Dever, Camilla Sten and Kristi DeMeester, as well as the films All of Us Strangers, Badland Hunters, Hanu-Man, Lisa Frankenstein, Madame Web, The Parades and Poor Things, and season 4 of the television programme For All Mankind.
Here are the extremely patient contributors to this issue.
Dan Muenzer is an educator from Honolulu, Hawai’i. He dreams of one day writing a page-for-page duplication of Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy.
Douglas J. Ogurek is the pseudonymous and sophomoric founder of the unsplatterpunk subgenre, which uses splatterpunk conventions (transgressive/gory/gross/violent subject matter) to deliver a positive message. His short story collection I Will Change the World … One Intestine at a Time (Plumfukt Press), a juvenile stew of horror and bizarro, aims to make readers lose their lunch while learning a lesson. Ogurek also guest-edits the wildly unpopular UNSPLATTERPUNK! “smearies”, published by Theaker’s Quarterly Fiction. These anthologies are unavailable at your library and despised by your mother. Ogurek reviews films and fiction for that same magazine.
Michael Hart writes stories that blend fantasy, science fiction and horror genres. His stories have appeared in Dark Tales, Frost Zone and Mythic Circle, to name a few. He is a copywriter, an electronic waste recycler and a father of two young children, with whom he spends hours building the most fantastical worlds of all.
Rafe McGregor is a critical theorist publishing on Anglophone culture, political violence, and policing. He is the author of twenty books, including Reducing Political Violence: Narrative Accounts of Crime and Harm (2026), Anthropocide: An Essay in Green Cultural Criminology (2025) and The Adventures of Roderick Langham (2017).
William Foulke is the MFA graduate of Vermont College of Fine Arts who aims to become the next Master of Horror. When he’s not exploring the curious and the terrifying at his keyboard, he enjoys traveling to unique destinations. He resides in Pennsylvania where he’s working on his first novel.

As ever, all back issues of Theaker's Quarterly Fiction are available for free download.
