DUM DUM Zine

About

DUM DUM publishes experimental lit and art that embraces all creative forms. When we're not publishing our zine, we're constantly searching for new multi-platform literature and art to share online. In the past we’ve featured hybrid fiction and poetry, text message interviews, experimental music and art reviews, prank email chains, crowd-sourced community photo projects, and even serialized radio plays.
