A very brief history of The Inflated Graveworm

The Inflated Graveworm was a Cleveland-area zine from the 90s centered on dark fiction, poetry, and art. It enjoyed a three-year run from September 1996 to February 1999, with nine bimonthly issues in print and 11 monthly issues online. In 1998 it even won a "Best of Cleveland" award from the Cleveland Free Times. Then it vanished as suddenly as it had appeared.

           

In November 2002, The Inflated Graveworm was reborn as a quarterly zine, back in print and still given away to the tune of 100 copies in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio.

In December 2003 it vanished again, with issue #24. Submissions had dried up. The Worm was feeling old and withered.

But now, after a 20-year slumber, the Worm is inching its way back to the surface! Look for it in Lakewood, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland) around Halloween 2023—still quarterly, still free, and still in print. This time will be better than all the rest, we promise.
