Dorothea #2, a quarter zine, 32 pages long, is out and available for S2.00ppd. From the introduction:

These stories aren’t amusements. They aren’t entertainments. They are me sorting out some business. Do you know that game people play where they watch other people and make up stories about them? I’m a writer. I play it all day long. Usually people go on bus rides to the city or fuck in cars but sometimes things go wrong. People die. People kill. It’s all a matter of what I saw.

I’m no fool though. I understand this is coming from me. I’m making this sick shit up. Its in my head. Don’t read this if you don’t want into my head. Don’t read this if you’re afraid of how wrong things can get. It’s a warning. Heed it. Don’t expect meaning. Don’t expect conscience. Don’t expect hope.

Every night I lay awake reminded of my mortality. Every fearful night I pray to nothing that I won’t die in my sleep. I’ve seen “god’s” work. He choked my mother with cancer. He blew Rodney’s brains out. He rapes and murders. If he’s bunnies and rainbows, he’s incest and school shootings.

I suspect I want a god that is a loving father being that
I was abandoned by the one who fucked my Mom. I imagine it’s all related but what I got was inadequate, a deadbeat god too drunk on his own glory to get out of bed, a missing ejaculator. His name is Doug Bessemer. That’s his real name. If you know him, tell him I’m coming and I’m bringing all the things I broke with me.



Lazy Boy is also available now. Also a quarter zine, around 40 pages, it’s $2.00 ppd. From the NeuFutur review:

….a zine about Mike’s experience with sex, masturbation, and self-doubt….Mike’s method of storytelling is engrossing and plays upon feelings common to anyone that has been through the oddness of teenage years. There is little more to the layout than Times New Roman text and handwritten titles; Mike’s style is what makes “Lazy Boy” so damn interesting. I think a parallel to the gay story magazines that are mentioned throughout “Lazy Boy” are in order; while not only about sex and sexual encounters, the emotions and rawness of the writings here are more than enough to titillate and excite. However, Mike straddles the line between a pornography-heavy magazine and one in which sex and sexuality is a major part. This careful balance ensures that “Lazy Boy” will be able to be read by a larger contingent than the 18+ crowd. While this seems to be a one-shot at this current time, I would really like to read more of this type of writing. I liked this more than Dorothea, which was a solid ‘zine in its own right. Kudos to Mike. Rating: 9.0/10
