#Goth zines

All day gay goth Pride event!

Annoyed by how commercial Pride events have become, yesterday on the day of Pride in our city, two of my best friends (a gay couple, one of whom is also trans) who run a regular goth night called Last Rites decided to put on an alternative gay/goth all-dayer (they missed a trick, should have called it an all-gayer!), 3pm until 2am, with guest DJs.

There is no door charge so they never make any money from this, they do it purely because of the lack of goth and alternative music nights in our smallish city. As long as enough people turn up and buy drinks, the bar where it's held doesn't charge them anything, and the guest DJs were all friends of theirs who volunteered.

They're a very talented and generous couple, and often put out free gifts on the tables. One of them sometimes brings home-made Ouija boards that he prints onto bits of hardboard, and in honour of this event being for Pride he'd made them rainbow tinted.

The other one often hands out a zine that he writes and prints himself. It contains anything and everything that might be interesting to him. There are usually some music and book reviews (the books could be anything from esoterica to sociology, history or politics, he has wide ranging interests), but he usually includes some weird and funny/silly stuff too. I haven't read my copy yet, but my favourite thing about it right now is the balloon stapled to the front 😂

Again in honour of Pride you can see he's included a review of a book called "Bad Gays" by the authors of a podcast of the same name.

Here's the back which is an advertisement for their Pride event. The picture in the middle and the quote "do not fade, do not wither" are from the movie Orlando starring Tilda Swinton, based on the book by Virginia Woolf. As a young man Orlando is told that he must never become old.... so he simply doesn't. He lives from the Elizabethan to modern era, and during that time also wakes up one day transformed into a woman. It's a rather strange movie but very queer and with a lot of commentary on gender roles in society. I would highly recommend it. Worth watching for Tilda if nothing else! They had it playing on a TV screen in the bar whilst we were there 😁

We didn't have the stamina to be there the full day, but the few hours we spent were awesome! My personal highlight was when one of the guest DJs played "I Still Believe" from the movie The Lost Boys, and I realised I was dressed almost exactly like Star in that scene!

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

I'm a bit late for the beginning of spooky season but here we are!

👁️ OPEN CALL 👁️

DEADLINE NOVEMBER 18TH 2024

Floors upon floors of empty corridors, incongruent spaces stacked on narrow, wide, long halls. Doors. Rooms. Windows. Let's build an hotel. Collettive and dissonant.

In this zine we want to represent the uncanny, the weird and the disturbing. We want to explore strange happenings, backrooms, and distorted dreams. We want to investigate liminal spaces with a non-binary perspective.

We want to construct an impossible architecture build on paper.

So... what to send?

Everything. We ask you to build the elements of this hotel by creating doors, corridors, rooms, warehouses, reception halls and fill them with your work. Whether these are in the form of written text (random thoughts, short essays, stories, playlists, reviews, recommendations or advice), illustrations, comics, sculptures, photographs, mixed media art, memes...

In what language can I send my work?

Preferably English and Italian. But all languages are welcome :)

How to send them?

Send everything in BW, A5 format and high resolution to nonbinaryhorror@yahoo.com.

Ok. I sent my contribution, now what?

This is a collective zine, which means that once the layout is finished and the file PDF has been sent to everyone, you will be free to print, distribute or sell it without problems.

You have questions? Dm me for clarifications! 🚪

The Bats! Zine is here!

Bats! The mixed media artbook/zine I've been working on for a long time about punk bats and parasites is finally available!

"Inspired by 90s, 2000s, and 2010s goth, punk, and otherwise niche animation, music, games, and comics. It started as pen doodles inspired by the works of Johnen Vasquez and a lot of Deviantart comics I read in middle school and much of the artwork was done in notebooks with ballpoint pens.

It's been more than two years in the works and includes monsters, shitty poems, harsh palettes, recipes, a guest piece from the incredible artist Kelly C, and dozens of full-page, colored illustrations."
