I had an amazing time at the ALA Convention as part of the Zine Pavilion. I want to thank everyone that stopped by my table and kept me busy slinging zines on Friday and Saturday. Met a lot of amazing people, so many complex minds to pick about literature and DIY culture. Plus I loved talking horror and sci-fi with the “real ones”.
This website has gotten a bit of an update. Now there’s a full section dedicated to zines and where to locate a copy for yourself. There’s also a new zine reading video uploaded to my YT page.
I wrote a zine, and it’s not about horror movies, but it does have a lot of monsters.
Ornery Cuss is a dark humored perzine with 11 short stories about mental illness, addiction, and grief.
Locally, it is available at Quimby’s Book Store & Chicago Comics. Soon, it’ll be available at Atomic Books in Baltimore, MD, and other distros across the U.S.
If you’re not in Chicago and can’t wait, Venmo $4 (+$1 s&h) to ‘weirdodujour’ and put your mailing address in the notes. I’ll even throw some little stickers in.
