Issue 07 (Lore) is a collection that masterfully weaves together 11 incredible pieces inspired by Asian and Asian American lore. It’s the perfect read for digging into old childhood scary stories or for when you’re reminiscing the folktales your elders once told you. Ranging from complicated (and even comedic!) stories of the liminal space between the living and the dead, to nuanced stories of lineage, tradition, and family, this issue brings to the forefront the worlds we’ve built to keep us grounded in the present and, conversely, the universes we’ve built in our minds to escape. 100 full color pages 5.8" W x 8.3" H Offset-printed and perfect bound Matte paper Contributors Ali McNally, Ash Jon, Azzah Sultan, Cynthia Ng, Dajia Zhou, Dakota Sinder, Denise Chin, Hao Le, Jeanelle Hernandez, Julie Kim, Juliet Way-Henthorne, Karina Zhou, Kaylynn Kim, Kiran Joan, Lil Zhang, Naima Nadia, Sara Lee, Sophia Hanako Kiuchi, Trevor Shin Credits Editor-in-Chief: Krystie YenAcquisitions Editor: Tiff SogaManaging Editor: Kimmy TejasindhuArt Director: Michelle Roque-NacionalesCreative Project Manager: Xiaoye JiangEditors: Angelica Lai, Chery Sutjahjo, Ella Wu, Dan Xin Huang, Vina OrdenLayout Designers: Des Enano, Maxine Bell, Tracy Xie, Vanessa ShyuCopyeditor & Proofreader: Katherine Wang and Saifa KhanCover artist: Tiffany WeiPrinter: The Prolific Group Slant’d was born from a series of intimate conversations between friends navigating their place in the world. Bonded by shared values and a craving for community, a small but mighty group of friends came together to create a literary magazine that freely explored big questions about identity and challenged the public narrative about what it means to be Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI).
