Reading this in succession with Harmon Butcher and Kate Ferencz's Free Pentagram Rides, I want to just hit replay because I think this statement rings true for both zines: "There's a caste of new writing coming out now that has a very good grasp on the power of an outline as a finished piece -capturing a rawness, humor, weirdness and a new condensed and distorted use of language- these collected and illustrated texts fall squarely in line with those powers."
Not that they're the same cloth - Lopez's voice is more impish and where Butcher is camped out in the Halloween aisle, Lopez employs a more subdued sort of folk-tale sort of creeping. My main point is both are excellent selections that play fast and loose with a cavalier sort of awesome. -EF
