INTERNATIONAL 'ZINES: THE DARK SIDE NO. 156

For a few issues now, the newly-resurrected UK horror film magazine, THE DARK SIDE, has been quietly being published abroad. So far, I have not seen any indication of its distribution here in the States. It is hoped that this is remedied soon. Information about ordering print or electronic versions of the magazine can be found by clicking on the cover image on the sidebar to the right of this blogroll.

Here is a lineup of the latest issue:
