New In: Nothing Really Mattress/Speaking Ill of the Dead and Am I a Stick Man? by Stephen James

We're slowly working through a backlog of zines here! There'll be loads to come on the blog in the next couple of weeks, I promise. These two, by Manchester based writer Stephen James, have jumped the queue because we wanted to tell you about a nice event you can go to that he'll be reading/launching his new self published book at.

You can also see Salford Zine Library favourite Zach Roddis there and there's some bands playing too. Best of all, it's free! Pop along, why don't you.

You might also have seen a bit of buzz about there being a Northwest Zinefest in November. There'll be more details announced soon so keep your eyes peeled! Follow @nwzinefest for all the latest news. Also, if you have loads of chairs and tables that you can let us borrow for the day, get in touch.

New in: Jelly Cake Season 2 - Episode 2 + 3

"Maybe one day Jelly Cake will be about vigilante fighting forces battling for domination. Of how multidimensional supernatural forces are assaulting Kizzy, Bailey, Helen and Estelle with deadly force. Of how unsavory villain invaders are putting our planet in crisis. But for now it's all about pointless, random and mundane micro-transactions that our reluctant super-heroines encounter on a daily basis."
