About the Zine

A Mini Revolution

Born out of a desire to take back independence and control, to bypass gatekeepers and to find an audience that resonates with my writing.

The Horrors Persist But So Do I is an ode to the ongoing horrors of the world, told through protagonists who are messy, powerful, and delightfully complicated. Issue 01 opens with a homage to the slasher genre, then turns its gaze to the horrors of the present.

Each future issue will take on a new genre. The themes will remain: unapologetically political, fiercely human.

What Are Early Readers Saying?

“I’ll forever think of Ajay, from Death Smells Like Cinnamon, whilst I walk my dog in Selly Park — terrifying.”

— Rupert

“Man or Bear? is an urgent read — an allegory for the harsh realities facing women in society.”

— Lauren

“I loved reading these complicated and at times morally grey characters of colour, especially as we find ourselves in a time where minority groups are being denied the right to exist freely and fully.”

— Henna

“The Art of Murder was such a twisty ride — a powerful collection!”

— Shannon

The Author

About the Author

A Writer on a Mission

I'm a writer of colour who made a pivot — away from the expected path and toward the stories that have been rattling around inside me for years. With a few small publications already under my belt and a folder full of short stories bursting at the seams, I decided it was time to get them out into the world on my own terms.

So, if you've purchased this zine, thank you! If you're contemplating it, what are you waiting for? Come join this mini revolution.
