Just a thank you for the great response to our Umbra Sumus & Lilith issues. Even after twenty odd (sometimes very odd) years we still enjoy doing what we do and we couldn't do it without you all. Ta! You can see all our issues/projects at www.abridged.zone & find details of obtaining/donating to us!

A sneak peek at an Abridged Umbra Sumus cover. Actually chosen before all the latest rocket throwing, but we do have a Nostradamus tendency... This one is by David Haughey.

Abridged really hates the fact that the racists are on our streets again. We have no time for bigots and the politicians that give them cover. In Northern Ireland or anywhere else.

We'll be back home in the CCA Derry~Londonderry (formally the Context where Abridged began) on June 28th to launch our Umbra Sumus issue! Hope to see you there. A sneak peak at some of the art...More news soon! Image by Aideen Barry from Klostes, Louise Manifold from Penumbra series and Locky Morris 'Headscape'.
