Seth Goodkind watched every single movie in the "Witches & Warlocks" section at Scarecrow Video, reviewed them all, and invited artists to contribute art related to select movies to compile into a book and art show!

Support the Kickstarter to get a copy of WITCH, PLEASE the book! You can also grab a copy of one of Seth's previous works, or maybe spring for a piece of original art included in the book?

This year's Book Club pick is A Journey into the Interior of the Earth by Jules Verne (often also translated as Journey to the Center of the Earth), a classic science fiction tale first published in French in 1864.

Push/Pull Press & Vertvolta Press are collaborating on an illustrated edition of Journey to the Interior of the Earth. Book Club participants will be invited to contribute visual pieces inspired by the novel to this edition of the book, which will then be available at Push/Pull.

All readers are welcome to participate in the Book Club though, whether or not your goal is to make art!

We will meet every Monday in June and July at Push/Pull to discuss the relevant chapters for each session. Come to as many meetings as you're able!

Book Club is back! This year, we're reading The Mind of Plants: Narratives of Vegetal Intelligence, an anthology with lots of cool contributors! The book is quite the hefty volume, with each chapter devoted to a specific type of plant.

​

• April 11th - Apple, Cannabis, Black Austrian Pine
• April 25th - Coffee, Horse Chestnut, White Pine
• May 9th - Linden, Passionflower, Tea
• May 23rd - Rose, Silver Fir, Sunflower

You can also discuss any of these (or other chapters!) online at any time on our Discord server!
