We Should Close

“We Should Close”

88-page long, quarter sized zine about working in a record store. Complete with silly good times and tales of weirdo collectors of vinyl. Comes with its own playlist on YouTube or Spotify. Only $3!

It’ll be available soon, and I’m STILL sorting out an online store-front. So if you want a copy right away, shoot me an email. weirdodujour@ proton.me

Ornery Cuss Perzine

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.

Last October I was honored to collaborate with Nora Barton of Planchette for some eerie orations and spooky spoken word.
