“MAD RUSH MAGAZINE isn’t for everyone, especially those easily offended. The literature here is dark, exploratory, and comes at you from all sides with sharp, pointed teeth. It’s like being a magician’s assistant, locked in a box, where survival means contorting your body in unnatural positions to avoid the long, incoming spikes. The magazine boasts outstanding work by almost one hundred contributors—with the phenomenal series of short prose “What Did Your Mom Say?” by Michael Hemmingson leaving a lasting impression. Hemmingson’s work piqued my curiosity and left me hungry for more, which is the greatest compliment I can pay any author. It would be an understatement to say that Craig Scott, as a publisher, marches to the beat of a different drum. With MAD RUSH MAGAZINE, Scott breaks the drum over his knee and cranks out an irreverent melody on trash cans and broken bottles with the splinters!”—Wolfgang Carstens
