For as little as $3 a month (our voyeur level) you get our newsletter and a PDF of the current issue sent to you. At the Wicked level $6 a month, you'll receive the newsletter, print issue (print issue sent after 2 payments to cover printing and shipping) and PDF version of the quarterly issue, as well as a mention on our Member wall. If you go whole hog for the confidante level at $12 a month, you get everything the previous level gets as well as a surprise gift every solstice. Every level has the satisfaction of knowing that the money is for the the authors, poets, and artists of the magazine. My goal is to double what I pay our submitters by the end of 2024.
Mission Statement
Last Girls Club is my legacy. It is my pandemic fever dream made real. Society has always revealed its fears through horror. Every age has its themes and speaks on a deeper level to what people are really thinking about in the wee hours of the morning.
Last Girls Club is me holding up a torch and inviting the monsters to step forward into the light. If we nail their feet to the floor, speak their names, and tell their stories in the firelight we might learn how to stop them or at least divert them. My themes are a journalistic approach of striking into stone the collective unconscious and preserving where we were during these trying times.
The Last Girls Club is from the feminine gaze and voice, because I want to broaden the spectrum of fiction and poetry and have both the readers and authors empathize with genre/gender bending powerful women facing terrors using their abilities to overcome them or succumb to them. Here we are willing to try the new, the unthinkable, flipping the classics, and taking delight in the dark feminine energy that is rising in the world. Here we are fucked up, funny, and a little bit bloody. Just like you…

Winter Solstice 2023 no 12 Clones, Drones, and Ready Made Meals
Happy Yule! The shortest day of the year and the death of the sun gods, when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. Join us while we celebrate the inevitable dystopian future facing us all when the AI overlords who will surely bomb or starve us into extinction for our hubris and ignorance finally strike.
Before humanity winks out like a twinkle in Kris Kringle’s eye, let’s gather together and share stories of technology run amok. Our sexpert Karma Eve discusses sex and the information age, our salty historian Mary Bengtsson reveals the season of female Santas, our spinster of horror Jess Stuart recalls her time as a robotic spouse, and our editor Eda Easter visits a Texas cemetery with an alien grave from the 1800s. Our Black Lake Witch explains Yule and tells us the legend of La Befana and Sopurkh, our seer, reveals what the season has in store for you.
Throw another Yule log on the fire, get in your most festive onesie, and curl up on the couch with us to celebrate the end of the year.
Fall Equinox 2023 no. 11
This One’s For The Weirdos
It's time to celebrate the weirdos. It's not too hard considering we are the weirdos, Mister. The last few themes of the magazine were pretty heavy and I decided it was time for a little fun, and, boy howdy, did I hit the mother lode. Our columnists and authors had a blast with it.
We discuss the commodification of weird, how being weird saved lives and turned people into mentors for the other little weirdos in the world. Our salty historian brings us another boss from the past who defied convention all the way to and beyond the grave. Speaking of graves, this season's Cities of the Dead is a mini cookbook of graveside recipes passed on to future generations.
Let's not forget it's spooky season, our patron witch Gina has your Witches' New Year Ceremony, a recipe for Black Salt, and some candle magic to light your way through the new year. All this cradling a clutch of dark fiction and poetry to chill your bones. We suggest reading under your favorite blanket with a flashlight to set the mood. Happy Samhain. Stay spooky.
Summer Solstice no 10
Reparations Issue
If revenge is a dish best served cold then are reparations best served hot and eaten with your hands? In the record-setting blistering heat of this summer season LGC opened Pandora's Box and set loose the demons within. From World War II survivors seeking legal reparations to 14th century Pirate Queens wreaking havoc to the individual aftermath of a modern day mugging to mermaids regaining their sharp siren ways to antebellum inheritances to the crashing of the US economy: our columnists, authors, and artists dug their toes in the dirt, raised their fists, and howled to the heavens. Broken but not forgotten... Promises, treaties, laws, bodies, and common decency are unearthed to be revived by the descendants of the perpetrators and the betrayed. But do not forget we celebrate the Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere. The longest day and the shortest night. Our moon priestess channels the energies of the planet to guide you through the season and our Black Lake Witch tells you how to turn it up for your solstice celebration. So slather on your sunscreen, find your flip-flops, grab your beach towel, and pour yourself an icy drink. It's time to hang with your spooky friends.
Spring Issue 2023 no. 9

Change your pajamas, wash your face, and fill your cup. It's time to people in the most minimal amount you can handle. The Last Girls Club is here for you. Our witch even has a seasonal signature cocktail for you.
Enjoy the madness of our unfettered dark feminine. Hopefully it will tide you over until the summer. Until then, may the shadows embrace you and the monsters fear you more.

Fall 2022 Issue no. 7 Thoughts & Prayers $18USD
Welcome back dear faithful followers. This season Last Girls Club explores Thoughts & Prayers, in all their glory and hypocrisy.

Cities of the Dead takes you to a tiny pet cemetery off the coast of California. Our columnist shares her journey of an early hysterectomy for crippling pain. Our editor in chief reviews from the perspective of her own recent widowhood Alex Garland's latest film MEN, a lush British folk horror about a haunted widow. Our moon priestess reveals your auspicious days in the coming season for you to light your candles accordingly. See you in the Winter. And as always, may the shadows embrace you and the monsters fear you more.
Summer 2022 Issue no.6 $18
Welcome back lovers. This season Last Girls Club explores sex work, the pitfalls, the legalities, and the joy that can be found in a job well done. Imagine a world where instead of a culture of exploitation and criminalization, sex trade would be exactly that: a trade of services for money, without legal or moral censure.
Workers could unionize, have health insurance, and full autonomy of their own bodies. Persecution by sexually repressed institutions and individuals could be prosecuted by the law and provide protection for the sex workers. Assault and murder would no longer be considered acceptable outcomes of "risky lifestyles". Serial killers would no longer have open hunting grounds on our streets of individuals that law enforcement ignores. Sex education would lose its taboo nature and humans could become informed about their bodies and celebrate their desires in safe environments with trained individuals to guide them. Incels would realize they have outlets to build their self-esteem and feel seen. The social ripples of this new way of thinking in the paradigm could change the world in ways we can't even imagine, if we only weren't too scared to try.
Well, here at the Last Girls Club, we aren't scared to dream crazy dreams and try new things. Jump in. Let's get weird. Thank you for sticking with us. See you in the Fall. And as always, may the shadows embrace you and the monsters fear you more.

Fall Issue
Gay 90s
Issue no 3 $18 USD
The 1990s were a dark time. The AIDS/HIV epidemic was still raging. Many were closeted out of fear. A lot of the history I see of this time period has a rainbow fabulousity filter that was not my experience. The gay world I moved through was goth, androgynous, punk, sexually ambivalent/experimental, horror themed, blood drenched, and scandalous. Way more Hellraiser than Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Come play with us.
Summer Issue Mad Queens Issue no. 2 $18 USD
