We put out a zine on a semi-regular basis featuring short stories and art. We're going to add a podcast this year. I believe firmly in paying artists for their work. That's why we started the zine. We follow writers and artists. ToadShadeZine.com

Check out my business partner's book. It's been called a mix of Eros & Psyche and Beauty & The Beast. It's spicy, plus extremely well-written! a.co/d/1N9GIzw

Spires, lamps, and staircases with the title Stone Heart: Stone & Flame Book 1. The author's name is Mallory Glass.

I know you're probably covered up in book stuff being thrown at you from every direction, but I also have a book I think you might like, especially if you're into monster romance. books2read.com/Mallory-Glass It's been said that it "[...]combines Eros and Psyche with Beauty and the Beast."

A picture of spires, stairways, and stained glass windows with lamps and candelabras. It says 'Stone Heart' int he middle and 'Mallory Glass, Stone & Flame Book 1' toward the bottom.

A neon sign says 'Toad Shade Zine Volume Three'. Underneath the sign is a deranged theme park mascot in overalls wearing overalls. There is a sign next to the mascot the reads 'You Must Be This Tall To Die!'.

This is the cover illustration for Toad Shade Zine Issue 3, made by the supremely talented @jartravian.bsky.social! It should also be noted that this is pen and ink, not digital. Feel free to be as jealous of his talent as I am. #payforart #artiswork #fuckAI #zine
