The Underland Review

☍ Normal Scheduling Has Been Interrupted Mowgli was going to scribe a poem or a dramatic monologue. Or something equally (in)coherent. But instead… the glitch won. The Underland Review: Issue One – This Zine Is a Lie is now live. 43 pages of soft monsters, glitch-lit poetry, haunted prose, cursed diagrams, and art that shouldn’t exist but does anyway. A digital archive stitched together with pocket lint, rage, and love. ☍ READ THE ZINE Free to read, cursed to absorb. Share it with your coven, your nemesis, your local librarian. ☍ DOWNLOAD THE ZINE (Pay What You Want) Keep a high-res PDF in your glitch archive.
