Hello fellow weirdos. How are things out there in meat space? Going well, I hope. No horrific onslaughts of carnivorous bees eating your flesh? That's good. No one wants that to happen, except for Kyle. Kyle is very strange.

Pleasantries dispensed, it is now time to introduce issue 6 of Scattered: A Dark Forest Press Zine! We have another awesome set of content here in these pages, just for you; and possibly Kyle. Inside you will find two horrifying stories by my friends from across the pond Myk and Pippa Pilgrim. There is also a brand new poem from Jennifer L. Collins. For the cover we have art from the esteemed Bruno Pagliarulo, and Erik Keevan has returned, this time not with poetry, but for a sultry centerfold. As usual, Leslie Edens is back with a critical review of the Backrooms movie and YouTube series.

See! Awesome stuff! Here at DFP we aim to please.

Now, on to the show!
