A rave
for the January 2002 issue from Netsurfer
Digest:
We
Scream for TheScreamOnline
You can tune in
stunning photos, art, and literature at sites all over the Web, but TheScreamOnline offers them more consistently than most. This
quarterly is the closest thing we’ve seen to an online coffee-table
magazine. The Winter 2002 issue features the art of Ken Brown, from
Vancouver, B.C., and incredible photography from United Nations photographer
John Isaac, Scottish photographer Alex Hamilton, and much, much more.
Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, commentary, music, technology—a
brief blurb in an e-zine like ours really can’t do the site justice.
You’ll want to bookmark TheScreamOnline and return often.
“A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory,”
quotes the home page. Truer words have never appeared onscreen. Thrashing
through the underbrush as we do, we see a lot of sites. It is rare to
see one this impressive.
And
this from Metafilter.com for the April 2003 issue:
At
Last A Luxurious Arts And Belles Lettres Magazine You Can Afford: If
you have zilch, it's yours: The SCREAMonline, full of goodies for your
pleasure. There's Kenn Brown's 8.5 foot DNA illustration [Flash req.];
sober reflections on the fattening of America; the strangely beautiful
and boring Mt.Wilson Tower cam; Michael Corrigan's Confessions of a
Shanty Irishman; some classic quotations from Woody Allen and the likes;
a selection of bizarre record covers—and much more that is lovely
to look at and entertaining to read. It's not exactly FMR, but then,
how could it be? A propósito, does anybody know of other
rich coffee-table weblogs or online magazines that are worth reading
and yet look good enough to leave lying around on one's monitor? ;)
And isn't it amazing that there are still so many free luxury items
on the Web?

Book Review interviewed editor Stuart Vail for the March 2004
issue. Says Johnson, "A friend and fellow writer recently introduced
me to a website featuring one of his short stories. This website — TheScreamOnline — is stylish and elegant, visually stunning.
Art, Photography, Literature, Film, and Poetry are featured. Stuart
Vail is the editor-in-chief of TheScreamOnline. I chose
to interview him because his website content is excellent
in every way."
