The Phoenix Presents
Recommended by Stephen L Holland, Guest Editor, June 2021: Looshkin by Jamie Smart stars a manic blue cat terrorizing its family household, their neighbours, their elderly relatives and any odd-ball expert foolish enough to step through their doors. Utterly oblivious and determinedly in denial, Looshkin refuses to take responsibility or any notice of what you or I would call reality. You will cry with laughter. Recommend you moderate your sugar intake first.

Looshkin is the maddest cat in the world!
You may think that your cat is mad, but they've got nothing on Looshkin. Leave him for just a moment and you'll find that your house has flooded, a steam train has smashed into your living room and a portal to another dimension has opened in your loft. And everything is covered in bees. And there are sirens. Looshkin, what have you done?!
