I made a zine about haunted houses!

You can pre-order a physical copy on Gumroad that will ship in the new year, or get a digital version.

"In the psychology of the modern, civilized human being, it is difficult to overstate the significance of the house." (Kitty Horrorshow, Anatomy)

This is a zine about haunted houses, using multiple examples as case studies to explore the following question: what does it mean for a house to be haunted?

The cover art was done by the wonderful @hardcoremisery ✨
