FLUENCY
A LITERARY ZINE
Spanning surreal landscapes and time, FLUENCY transports readers to dystopian futures, haunted houses, and the intimate life of a baby-snatching fae. The eight short stories blend elements of horror and myth into their narratives. Each story has an accompanying watercolor.
​
PRAISE FOR FLUENCY
“The poetry and prose in this collection will take you on an uneasy, but deeply necessary, journey...”
​
“I didn’t expect it to wrap a cold hand around my heart and lead me cover to cover!”
​
“My reading was a kind of sapphic, possibly phantasmic, sexual awakening, which I'm very much here for.”

THE DEPOT'S DEARLY DEPARTED
GHOST STORIES
The Depot’s Dearly Departed is a choose-your-own-adventure style project. Enjoy reading this with friends and see what choices they make! There are thirteen choices and seven outcomes possible, but only one plot line will lead you safely out of the Depot and away from the ghosts.
​
Will you make it out alive?
​
The stories here are inspired by the folklore of The St. Louis County Depot. While inspiration has been taken from local legend, the stories here are fictitious. The art is mixed media, combining photos from within the Depot that are printed on receipt paper with watercolor. This project was written and created specifically for North Shorror 2025!
