Reviews

[Michael Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderfully dark and delightful zine! The stories were haunting and the poetry elegant of the macabre in the way only poetry can be! Standouts include David Barkers unsettling The Crawling Dead, Sarah Walkers eerie The Root of All Gravities, and Daniel Pieterson's The Left-Hand of Aux-Cervoires and every poem in this was wonderful! Wilum Pugmire, KA Opperman, Ashley Dioses, Wade German, Dan Clore, and Adam Bolivar all deliver exquisite frissons of ethereal terror and otherworldly fantasy! Publisher Obadiah Baird has assembled a wonderful debut issue and I am greatly looking forward to future issues!

This new zine is a delight for fans of weird fiction! The art alone is worth the price of admission but it's all really top notch: excellent stories and poetry, lovely artwork, and great editorials. Clearly a labor of love and it really shines for it.

From the layout to the illustrations and stories/poems themselves, this is a standout debut for a horror zine. Can't recommend this enough!
