00. Coming Attractions

This magazine is dedicated to every human with a big imagination who found themselves compelled to tell a story—in film, in song, in print, or in doodles.

If you’ve ever looked at the numbers on a Spider-Man film, an Olivia Rodrigo single, a Radiohead album, or one of the Twilight books, you’d reach the singular and accurate conclusion that we live in a story-based society. That’s how we make sense of the world and each other. It’s how we bond. It’s how we learn. "Song is an outlet for any of a bird's emotions... but chiefly joie de vivre." And what are we if not slightly more complex birds?

Love Interests is about how the stories we consume affect our sense of self and worldview.

This is the Coming Attractions Issue—a study of anticipation, wanting, waiting, and the art of the preview. Inside, we're introducing the voices on the rise across music, film, and culture, and taking you to the psychological space between desire and possession.

Submissions for Issue 01 are open RIGHT NOW until October 31st.

While you wait, remember you can submit, subscribe, and Substack.
