Truth. Lots of Claffey. Blood a Cold Blue. Zine love. All of it. Enjoy.
Q: What serves as the motivation (or the spark) to embark on another tale?
A: God, isn’t that the million
dollar question? Stories spring from so many places, a photograph, a
song line, the memory of a moment in time, a news article, all sorts of
things. Recently, I was looking at a NY Times gallery of
photographs and there was one of a beautiful woman in the doorway of a
rundown house and I wrote a piece that spun from that central image.
It’s up at Ben Tanzer’s “This Zine will Change your Life,” and it’s
called “The Sun Lost a Sibling.”
James Claffey is a wizard yo. He is also Blood A Cold Blue. And we are blurb. So do hit it, it just might change your life.
"In Blood a Cold Blue, James
Claffey infuses every story with rhythm and rot, doing things with
words that I've never seen before and don't expect to again."
The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life
is live. We have new story, The Sun a Lost Sibling by the James Claffey, which we
are way excited about, and, (almost) as always, photo action from Adam Lawrence, music curation from Jason Behrends and debt ceiling prose love from Pete Anderson.
We hope you enjoy this edition and we appreciate all shout-outs and
links. Finally, please note, we are hoping more of you will submit
comix, and music, novel excerpts, and art, and video, yes, video, and
combinations there of. And most finally, James Claffey's debut story collection Blood A Cold Blue is being released by Press 53 on October 1st, so do hit that, it just might change your life.
