ISSUE 6
The final issue of Frost Zone Zine was a special issue that we are so pleased with. To celebrate Women in Horror Month (although, really, we should read horror written by women year-round), this issue features only women authors, which to repeat, resulted in a spot on issue of what we like to publish.

ISSUE 1
The inaugural issue, autumn 2020. First time reading submissions, no idea what we would get, and as I said in the intro on the website, this was first intended to be a paper zine of my own art and writing -- then the idea of opening to subs took over, then I was convinced to put it online and POD. Anyway, this is the First Issue:
