Issue #12, May 2025 The Yōkai Issue

$20.00

It’s May! The tulips are in full bloom, and the magnolia trees are just beginning to lose their early spring petals. May also welcomes AANHPI Heritage Month, a month to celebrate the voices that continue to challenge, expand, and enrich the horror genre. Horror is an exploration of where our fear takes roots, and there is strength in claiming that space through stories that have repeatedly been marginalized. It is our duty and a privilege to highlight artists whose work challenges not only terror but also identity, memory, and legacy.

We're thrilled to share an interview with the charming Grace Chan, whose muses on ‘80s horror and physical media's lingering appeal! Her words remind us of the ways making space for diverse narratives can open a new world of terror. This issue also features an interview with bestselling author Monika Kim, whose fiction is razor sharp. In our interview, she speaks about her own experiences that she addresses in her best-selling novel, The Eyes Are The Best Part. Lastly, we’ll take a folkloric deep dive into the dynamic depths of the creatures that have changed the genre through cultural confrontations.

SHIPPING NOTE: Zines are ordered from our suppliers after payment is made. Please expect a 4-5 week shipping and fulfillment window.
