Editor and art director: Scary Boots Collective
A new, Risograph-printed quarterly of art and writing, Scary Boots is a self-described ‘zine with its feet in the slime’, each issue focussing on an aspect of human experience.
Primarily duotone with flashes of colour throughout, this third issue is themed ‘Nostalgia’, featuring a typical curation of evocative short stories and poems, accompanied by charming illustrations and prints. Inside, an addict trades in imperial postcards; the anonymous Scary Boots Collective longs for a figment of home; a former alcoholic reminisces on her storied career as a mixologist as she rides ‘the misery bus’ home from AA; and, a New Yorker drifts off to sleep on the interstate.
Limited edition of 200 copies, with a little postcard inside.
