The Stapled Spine is a black and white, horror fanzine from Portland, Horroregon. News, reviews and interviews on and with horror/monster/folk lore filmmakers, bands, authors and artists.

I started making zines back in 1994 and have never grown out of it. This current title is gaining steam as we are building a diverse group of writers and artists; as well as fortifying the dark scene of the PacNorWest.
