Hallo again, 

We have lots for you this issue. We have interviews with Sarah Howe and Belinda McKeon amongst others as well as features on David Foster Wallace and Brendan Behan exploring unfamiliar aspects of their lives and works. We continue our exploration of Irish SF/Fantasy authors and other features we hope you will find interesting. There is also poetry and prose from our open submission calls. We pay tribute to Gerry Keenan, aka the infamous 'Jude the Obscure' a colossal presence in the printed edition who passed away recently. Is there room for a contemporary 'Jude' in the online HU? Or is there already too many people online in this role already, if unofficially?  Would it just descent into rancour and libel given the opportunity for quick response that the internet offers? Let us know what you think via Facebook and Twitter. As ever I'd like to thank all our writers and contributors plus all those interviewed and featured in this and past issues. We couldn't do it without you.
