Horrible Creatures

A reprint of a zine written in 2019 that discusses the sorts of Horrible Creatures that inhabit our local scenes and how we can learn to recognize them.

When this text was added to our library, it was assumed it was written from the perspective of a survivor of abuse. In fact, it was written in defense of abusers, and the named "horrible creatures" are the survivors and their allies who are so "horrible" for calling out abuse. We are keeping this up because the fact that it has multiple interpretations is interesting in and of itself, and we hope it can spark discussion around how the language of abuse and therapy can be used by abusers to silence others. It is not being kept up as an endorsement of the original author's views.
