Desert Pookas by Devin Kate Pope
Pre-order: A zine of illustrated Irish fairy tales re-imagined in modern-day Piipaash & O’Odham Territory, also known as Phoenix, AZ. Fairies, pookas (shape-shifting hobgoblins), ghosts, and demons leave mischief and havoc in their wake, as we follow the people blessed or cursed to interact with them. The separation between the realms of human and spirit grows thin and we see what happens when the rigid objectivity of modernity comes face-to-face with ancient mystery.
