WITCHES: a new collection of drawings and portraits by original riot grrrl, filmmaker, and queercore zine queen, G.B. Jones. Featuring essays by Caroline Azar, Paul P., Leafshimmer, Jenna Danchuk, Blake Baron Ray, and Scott Treleaven – each exploring the history and heresy of witchcraft.

"… it has become easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine a different way of living in it. This is where the witch comes in. The question Jones’ drawings pose isn’t so much why witches are relevant now, as much as why they’ve never receded from humanity’s imagination. They live without recourse to orthodox beliefs; they exist free of nations and marketplaces; without sexual, gender, or age norms; in harmony with, and without fear of, the natural world. Constituting an incredible example of survival, in both their fictional and real incarnations, the witch’s persistence hinges on the radical simplicity of the threat they represent: a thriving deviant." – excerpt from What Witches Do by S. Treleaven
