Ten Things is a collection of magazines, thoughts and ephemera that have been sitting on my desk for a few months while I caught up with deadlines. And apologies about the quality of the photos in this entry.

HomeSapiens is a magazine with a built-in lifespan: six magazines (five issues and one special), each themed around different encounters in people’s homes. The first issue is titled Els Chomedians; the others have equally confusingly pun-based titles. It’s far from perfect, but it is worth tracking down.

Like a few other new publications in recent months, issue zero of Kill Screen (“The Maturity Issue”) was successfully funded through Kickstarter.
The first time I heard about its existence, I was excited to read Invert Look. It’s a creation of The Church of London, the non-religious publisher of Huck, and above all, Little White Lies, a marvellous mono-thematic film magazine that’s deservedly forged quite a niche for itself in the film world, and just celebrated five years of existence.
