"The stories are fantastical in the best sense of the word: strange and marvelous, full of the inexplicable... This magazine is worth seeking out."
--Terry Weyna, Fantasy Literature

"By and large the sensibility is 'literary,' and the quality is high (the two, of course, not always the same thing), virtually all the stories assembled here working, though to different degrees and in different ways.... That combination of quality and variety means that Fantastique Unfettered #1 offers something for many different tastes... "
--Nader Elhefnawy, The Future Fire

"There is a poignance in these poems: an ache and a loss, a love and a surrender, a luscious melange of sorrow and love."
--Dan Campbell, Poetry Editor of Bull Spec (in his review of the poetry and interview)
