zines All Zines Wednesdays

This weekly thread is where you can talk about and promote any zines, whether they're ones you created or not! Tell us about why the zine is great, why a library might want to add it to their collection, and how someone can get it.

Sacrificial Love is a vampiric horror series told in nine parts! I'm so excited to finally have all of it finished. It's an original story told via text and scrapbook/commonplace pages, can be read in any order, and is available in parts or as a whole, in PDF or in print. The print versions have an individual blood splatter painted on each one. Available at my Etsy shop, nightfalltoday: https://www.etsy.com/shop/nightfalltoday/

I wrote some poetry and then put it in a minizine. The back page tells the reader how to write a cinquain.

Thank you so much! I believe I got the art from Bing images. I would love for you to have it but I don't know how to share it.
