THE SKULL & LAUREL - ISSUE 001

Remember magazines? @TenebrousPress does. They started a new magazine in the year of our lord 2024 and filled it with the weirdest shit they could find. Turns out: I missed magazines, and 10p is hoping you do too.

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

10p consistently delivers quality horror that is also: weird / batshit / fucked up / & singular. Now it’s in magazine form. An absolutely beautiful magazine, to be clear. @WolfSkullJack’s cover art is stunning and the rest of the book keeps to that standard.

@horrorsong I said “excuse me???��� out loud. 😂

INVAGINIES, by Joe Koch (@horrorsong)

Invaginies is grotesque. Invaginies will trap you in the act of transformation (art / sex / death / metamorphosis / digestion / etc). Invaginies will ask you questions like “Do you know how snails have sex?” Invaginies is upsetting.

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

@garbagesauce It feels like Joe fingering your (the reader’s) stab wound. 🔪☝️

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

Invaginies is weird and disorienting. Invaginies is hideous poetry that is beautiful in its dismemberment. Invaginies is unlike anything else I have ever read. You should check it out.

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

A story that, halfway through, contains the line “Five thousand years later.” A snuff film in a cave. An art heist at the Cathedral of Salt. Invaginies is a dizzying whirlwind that defies explanation. There are seventeen stories, and none of them will prepare you for the next.

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

Funny, touching, and just a little bit creepy, Where the Pavement Turns to Sand shows you the encroaching darkness and asks you to confront it. There might be nothing in the shadows, but there might be something, too. You never know.

WHERE THE PAVEMENT TURNS TO SAND, by Sheldon Birnie (@badguybirnie)

Most of the time I like my horror gnarly and gory as fuck, but sometimes you need a palette cleanser. Something that’s just a little spooky, that’s ominous instead of horrifying. WTPTTS is that palette cleanser.

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

believe, that you want to dismiss but just might be true. They’re the stories that you only believe when you’re laying in bed, unable to sleep. They’re small-town mythology, which Birnie builds brick-by-brick, until you feel connected to a place you’ve never been.

STARLET, by Danger Slater (@Danger_Slater)

STARLET takes some well-worn tropes, injects them with jellyfish mRNA, makes them malleable, and molds them into something new. The book is bite-sized and saturated with adrenaline, just like the eponymous STARLET.

[andruwreads @andruwreads]

I won’t spoil what comes next, but the pages of this book are drenched in blood and cum, and if that bothers you, well, Starlet isn’t for you. For everyone else, Starlet is a fun time, and Seawright’s journey to becoming the final girl is worth the price of admission.
