Out at the MN State Fair Grounds (Education Building) for InBound Brewing Co's Bookfair for Grown Ups today (Saturday the 12th).
Come say hi and pick up some weird horror!
I'm tired and ready to bang. Me squatting in front of a table full of Weirdpunk titles. I'm cute. You can trust me on that.

Saturday! Come on out and hang with a bunch of weird and horror vendors. The Fright Night Markets are some of my favorites and I'm stoked to be doing another.
Delicious beer, cool folks, awesome stuff for sale. If you're near Minneapolis, stop by!

Hey so today is the release day for Mark Jaskowski's Beneath the Swimming Pools, the Teeth! This novella packs a punch. Poor decisions, a brutal blackout, a body changing in bizarre ways, the downsides of friendship, and more.

Hey y'all. This comes out in 5 days!
Low level crime, a blackout at a party, the mystery of what happened, and the question of why a body is changing. Body horror meets dirtbag noir. Like David Goodis and Clive Barker drinking 40s in the stairwell of a neglected apartment building. Shit rules.

Weirdpunk isn't a genre, it's a fucking way of life.
Scene from Return of the Living Dead where Suicide is telling Trash "You think this is a fuckin' costume? This is a way of life!" about his punk look.

Down in the single digits on a few of these zines. Weirdpunk zines have a single print run, won't be printed again, don't have ebooks, and are only available through WP.
Like weird horror? Weird Sword & Sorcery? Co-written dying earth occult fantasy?
Grab 'em while you can!

We are 2 weeks away from the release of Charlene Elsby's The Organization is Here to Support You!

A graphic with the cover of Charlene Elsby's The Organization is Here to Support You (which has an office building atop a giant floating rock in the clouds) and a blurb by Hailey Piper that says: ""A fascinating, sometimes dizzying look at the narratives we build out of other people and what they build upon us. Sometimes you have to revel in the obsessive weirdness of the world. Elsby turns the skull into a cubicle for the mind." - Hailey Piper, author of A Game in Yellow"

Got the print proof for Charlene Elsby' The Organization is Here to Support You! Looks incredible. That cover art by Ira Rat really pops in person.
Out 3/15, up for preorder now! Grab one at www.weirdpunkbooks.com or in ebook on the zon.
Available everywhere on release day.
Cover for The Organization is Here to Support You by Charlene Elsby. An office building sits atop a floating rock in the sky. Back cover for The Organization is Here to Support You by Charlene Elsby. Up close silhouette of the tower/stone from the cover with the following text: Welcome to the Organization. Employees of the organization contribute to its mission to apply non-traditional methods to the non-traditional problems of today. To ensure that all employees have the same opportunity to thrive, the organization’s state-of-the-art live and work facility has all the comforts of home, plus technology that maximizes their opportunities for collaboration. Without the organization, Clarissa Knowles would have nowhere else to go. That is, unless she can make it to Dick’s house, the professor she’s been talking to online. Haunted by her failed relationship with Maurice (the existentialist), and the deaths of her parents, can Clarissa shake off the values of the organization, pack up her cat – and go? The Organization is Here to Support You is an existential bureaucratic horror satire in the tradition of Franz Kafka, J.G. Ballard, and Sayaka Murata.

We've got a little over 2 weeks until the SubClub closes.
This has been the slowest year for subscribers since I first started it. And that makes a lot of sense given everything that's happening around us.
It's a strain on our year too. This is our call for help.
(Picture: last year's SubClub)
2024's SubClub offerings. A big Weirdpunk Sticker, both sides of the Exclusive Bookmark, 2 Exclusive Member Zines, an Exclusive Shirt with art my late-wife made that says "Weirdpunk Books Join Us in the Darkness," Red of Tooth & Claw by Matthew Mitchell and Sam Richard zine, and the following books: Infinity Mathing at the Shore & Other Disruptions by M. Lopes da Silva, Profane Altars: Weird Sword & Sorcery edited by Sam Richard, Love Skull by Emma Alice Johnson, and The Still Beating Heart of a Dead God by Sam RIchard.

I ain't saying much about this collaborative occult dying earth fantasy zine @matthewmitchell.bsky.social and I made, but I will say that it does have a brief section involving a colony of feral cats, which is nice.
Ltd to 180 copies. Preorder here.

Truly one of the greatest visual artists. Love her stuff so much going back to an old REH paperback I bought at a thrift store in high school (still have it!).
We were lucky enough to get the okay from her family to use one of her paintings on the cover of Profane Altars: Weird Sword & Sorcery.
Cover art for Profane Altars: Weird Sword & Sorcery edited by Sam Richard, featuring a painting by Jeffrey Catherine Jones of a warrior fighting a flying monster.
