You can't get there from here.

I’ve been trying to subscribe to the fascinating Hoot Review. It appears that there’s literally no way to subscribe on their web site, or any alternative to the web site. I even emailed them to ask if they’d gone out of business and forgotten to take their site down. No, they replied, we’re definitely in business, and we’re working on letting you subscribe.

Especially for a journal that sends out its product by mail, I’d think that posting a mailing address along with “send your check here” might have occurred to them. It would even be in line with their print-based ethos.

When I finally figure out how to subscribe, I’ll at least know that I’m not dealing with people obsessed with the bottom line.
