Pretty Young Things

According to the NY Times Magazine Culture Blog, there are some hot young lit mags on the scene that are taking up the mantle.  Despite what many people view as the death of print, these mags are flourishing by utilizing POD technology and the like.

Click the link above to see the list.  I'd like to specifically steer you towards The Coffin Factory, which is no. 4 on the list.  A classmate from undergrad is one of the managing editors.  I haven't read it yet, but anything with her name and influence is bound to be good.

From The Coffin Factory About page:
