[Molly Likovich · Rating 5 out of 5]

A vital piece of queer nonfiction.

[Maggie White · Rating 5 out of 5]

Originally picked up zine 3 “The Pocomoke Tragedy : The 1878 Sapphic Murder that Scandalized the Eastern Shore” (obviously) and came back for the full collection. I found that these stories feel much more poignant when they’re from your own backyard. As tragic as history can be, I appreciate the reminder that queerness has always been here, and the community will always prevail.

It was Inspiring, refreshing, and surprisingly hilarious to read about the deep queer history of Maryland
