Author Description

This is the Color-Interior edition of our August issue! The Weird and Whatnot is an ever-growing community of authors, artists, poets, and readers. The speculative stories, art, and poetry in this publication are quirky, creepy, fantastic, and just a little weird. Read about overpriced VR glasses, a conscripted thief, and witty witches. We have ghostly conductors, sentient dolls, and glass men. Are you sure you want to enter here? You might never go back to normal again.
