New in the Spiral House!
Er...
Up The Punk Magic?
Ya, that makes more sense.
Another thoughtful zine from the folks at Fiddler's Green Peculiar Parish covers the transformative power of the "As-If" technique in "As-If: Punk Magic and the Art of Self-Invention." This essay by Clint Marsh, originally featured in Fiddler's Green Peculiar Parish Magazine, explores how this powerful approach can help you overcome creative blocks and manifest your dreams.
Through the spirit of DIY in creating its own culture from music to print and other forms of art, chart your path and cast the spell of As-If" until it shows you the way!
16 pages, cardstock cover and with the Fiddler's Green signature copper embossed cover.

It's International Zine Month and a fellow zinester and tumblr friend, @custer-mp3, could really use some help!
This was written by my good buddy @jonasty1
My dear friend Julia needs help relocating following an eviction. It is a terrible situation, and it is urgent. This is after a legendary run of bad life luck. I can't sit while my friends fall. Thoughts and good vibes are neither currency nor a safety net. Julia is a wonderful person, and a gifted writer. Their zines about being non-binary resonates in a way that I've rarely read elsewhere. I admire them in many ways, and care about them quite a lot. They are falling right now, and need to know that someone is here to catch them. They need money for a move, and about 5k to secure a new home (deposit, first and last month rent). The struggle is real. It's daunting, but everything we can raise will go far. I used to have this fear, that I would lose my job, lose my home, lose my means and find myself alone to fend for myself. Maybe most people have this fear at some point. I just have to trust that people who care would do everything to catch me. They would be the lifeline, the ladder--even when I felt as though I were becoming an emotional and financial burden. I know now, but still have to remind myself daily, that true compassion has no expiration date. Please help if you can.

Final girls, final guys, and unfortunate fodder... THIS IS IT!
Splatter Painting, our original 80s horror zine, has very limited stock left of the zine AND the VHS tape charm. You have until 17th May to grab your own.
We have a few zines left in the UK for cheap shipping to UK and Europe. If your country isn't already marked for cheap shipping, let us know and we'll add it!

Selfless Lovers is a zine focused on stories about magical girls (or boys, etc) fighting against social issues and other problems arising from living in our modern dystopian hellscape. It's not all fiction though. It also contains thoughts and lamentations about the state of the real world and possible resources so you too can take action.

Brainscan #29 was originally a split zine with No More Coffee but @alexwrekk took it apart to make it into a stand alone zine. Ben from No More Coffee challenged @alexwrekk to write a fiction zine and here are 3 short fiction stories that don't fall far from the regular Brainscan Zine storytelling all wrapped up in high contrast cut and paste layout.
