Sin — Michael Cart

Bold, innovative, and eclectic -- that's Rush Hour, a cutting-edge literary journal featuring original stories, essays, art, poems, and excerpts from forthcoming novels from today's most distinguished voices, both established and new. Sin is the tantalizing theme of Volume One. You commit it. You judge it. You avoid it. From the Bible to the big screen, from classrooms to homes, sin is powerful, arresting, and rarely clear-cut. In Volume One, Rush Hour tempts readers with 19 stellar contributors' interpretations of sin.

This first issue marks the debut of an unprecedented, pulsating new journal, published twice a year and focused on charged themes today's readers care about most -- because original sin was just the beginning.
