“Terror arrives in all forms” in this second volume. “People go missing. Zombies roam the land. Visitors arrive from the sky. Ghosts lurk around every corner.

The erstwhile Portlander Douglas Lain–writer, editor, and revolutionary–has released what is sadly the final print issue of his zine Diet Soap, which will now exist only as a podcast on all things speculative and Situationist. Issue #4, available on Lulu as a a dollar download or a seven buck paperback, takes slavery as its theme and features H.V. Chao’s “The Interview,” first published in Spring 2009 on the Diet Soap website.
