“Geek Love” by Katherine Dunn — think you’d enjoy that one — dark/creepy, side-show, tattoos, disfunctional family, love, misfits, cult, and dark/creepy (did I say that already?)
I loved RayGun. I still have several copies although i was disappointed with the article on JAMC because the text intentionally faded away as you read it. It was artsy and beautiful, but didn't allow you to finish the article. Oh well.
I think i still have my copy of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe somewhere
I'm halfway through 6 books. Ugh. I do miss magazines. In the 90s, every payday was about buying 2 or 3 CDs and a new magazine. Rolling Stone, Spin, Outburn, Propaganda and of course a free copy of LA Weekly from Tower Records.
I’ll check out Vandermeer! I have not read anything by him yet but the indie bookstore near me offers a whole bunch of his books. Re: Clowes, I really liked David Boring too. I enjoy his realist period, but prefer his stories when there is a touch of mystery or strangeness.

I’ve seen this book around for ages but never picked it up, I’ll give it a try soon.

Yes! Also the Bryan Ferry interview was typeset entirely in Dingbats. Haha.

Totally! I forgot about Outburn, good one.
