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.
