The Cryptids Are Calling: Issue 8 Is Here
Join the Weird and Wonderful World of Book Worms—Our Biggest, Spookiest Issue Yet!
Hey friends,
I’m thrilled to share that the Summer Issue of Book Worms Horror Zine is officially here—and it’s our biggest one yet!
Issue 8 is all about cryptids—those legendary creatures that lurk just out of sight. Inside, you’ll find thrilling tales featuring Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, Chessie, and more. We’ve packed this issue with creepy fun: short stories, new comics, and even horror-themed games to play. Plus, for the first time ever, we’ve gone full color on the cover!
This past weekend, Regina and I took Book Worms to Blobfest in Phoenixville, PA, and wow—what an amazing experience. We got to connect with so many weird-and-wonderful folks who love horror as much as we do. Some were longtime fans, some were just discovering the zine for the first time. It reminded me what Book Worms is really about: bringing together a community of misfits, monster-lovers, and fans of all things strange and spooky.
If you’ve supported us before—thank you. You’re the reason we get to keep doing this. If you haven’t jumped in yet, this Super Big Cryptid Issue is the perfect time to join the Book Worms family.
Want to stay on this haunted ride with us? Subscriptions are now open! $38 gets you the next 4 issues, starting with Issue 8.
And remember: Book Worms is print-only. No digital, no reprints. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
You belong here. We’re building something weird and wonderful together—and it wouldn’t be the same without you.
Stay spooky,
James
