Literally every animal is “smarter than we thought”. Animals in general are very smart, but for some reason they are assumed to be dumb because we don’t have a proper understanding of them

Psyched to be back in FCQ with "Pages Found Under a Child's Bed," a grisly Richard Matheson homage in which various things gnaw: hunger, remorse, the folks who live under the lake...

For personal reasons it would be cool to sell like a hundred zines today 😂 I have sold two which is a good start.
My zines can be purchased here going forward. Currently I have the Scream zine and my recent lesbian vampire zine for sale, IRL and/or PDF. My next zine is going to be about the X-Men and I'm already a little exhausted thinking about it 😂 sara-century.square.site
