Hey, Kids, Do You Remember Zines?
You know, those awesome homemade magazines that have all but vanished now that we all have blogs? My friends and co-bloggers at Alert Nerd still produce a quarterly (mostly) zine we call Grok. And it’s awesome.
This issue’s theme is Nameless Horror, and there’s lots of mythos and monsters, but also the dread of picking a screen name and the specter of a committed relationship. There’s also this thing I wrote about my ride-along with some real-life ghost hunters. And some insane nightmare fuel from Internet pal Stephen Graham Jones.
Go ahead and give Grok a read. At the very least, print it out and use its 69 jam-packed pages as a weapon or a pillow. We know it’s tough out on the streets.

One could do a whole book about the prevalence of hauntings at Irish Pubs. If you could write and discuss it without the slightest whiff of irony, you would have immediate fans. I can almost hear the George Noory interview now.
I guess the questions are how serious do you take yourself and what other more important projects you have going on…I’d probably put the book somewhere above the next episode of “America’s Next Top Model,” but somewhere below learning to play accordion.
Hope you had a nice Christmas. Thanks for posting the Zine.
