Zine Scene
News of a couple of nifty new online magazines has arrived in my inbox. The sharply titled Killing The Buddha is a zine about religion, as opposed to being a religious zine - a place where religion gets discussed without prescription. Currently they’ve got articles on Torquemada, the Angel Of Death and the temptations of Eve, among other things - all the good bits of religion, essentially. It’s a subject that’s been long overdue for some intelligent writing on the Web, so all power to KtB.
At the other end of the scale, another UK book publisher has taken the plunge into producing a half-decent website with some bona-fide content. Bloomsbury Magazine is the new online publication for the publishers of the same name, who are home to Harry Potter and Hunter S. Thompson among others. There’s a slew of interesting bits and pieces here, all tied in with the release of new titles from the Bloomsbury stable.
Meanwhile, the second issue of Deep Fried has flopped out in the same gruesome, X-rated manner as the first one. Their site’s gone all clever with lots of Flash too, so take a look to get a flavour of this particularly crispy comicbook morsel.
High Noon
Jeff Noon fans will be pleased to know Mr Noon published his very own manifesto recently in The Guardian, which is also available to read online. Jeff’s new experimental book, Cobralingus, is out now and available both from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. There’s also an excellent official site for Cobralingus which explains more about the purpose of the book and the direction of Noon’s future writing.
