Multiversal Goblin Variants of echo
An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes echo as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on taxonomy this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
