NFG was a Canadian rag that had a formula similar to AntiMuse: unusual fiction, poetry and random hilarity. I first saw it at a Books-a-Million (we don’t have Borders or B&N here) next to the Kenyon Review back in January 2005.

I discovered today that NFG “went on hiatus” in July 2005, shortly after I bought the fifth issue. “On hiatus” usually means “out of cash” in this business.

It was a decent publication, although it did violate two of my rules in one issue: no talking animal stories and no second person present tense fiction. Still, it eminated an aura of ad hoc indy publishing that attracts so many to the small press.
