Two Dead Queers is the shambling brainchild of K. M. Claude and R. E. Hellinger. Stitching bits of art and prose together to craft the resplendently horrible, Two Dead Queers is a creative project that takes no prisoners and makes no excuses.
Everything created for Two Dead Queers was made out of its creators' desire to not only make art and stories but to share them too: without shame, without silence, and without censorship. Therefore, we are proud to offer digital copies of our zines free of charge or as close to free as possible.
Two Dead Queers aims to produce high quality horror for those that dare revel in all its gruesomeness, so step into the shadows as we explore the dark together.

Two Dead Queers is proud to present a collection of salacious artwork and decadent prose by the diabolically deviant duo K. M. Claude and R. E. Hellinger.
Lay your head under the blade and behold what it means to be truly headless in our inaugural issue of our Two Dead Queers Present series ... Guillozine.
Known for the religious horror graphic novel Ninety-Nine Righteous Men and the mind behind nonSENSE Press' Nansensu anthologies, K. M. Claude is a queer indie horror and erotica cartoonist creating comics, zines, and other works of art that glorify the grotesque, delight in the deviant, and sexualize the sordid.
For Hellinger and Claude, they draw upon the influences of gothic horror and ero guro nansensu, both subgenres that transform the disturbing into beauty. Even if it’s literal gut-fucking, there’s something oddly appealing about it."
QUARANZINE delights in revealing the horrific inner workings of humanity and beyond. With beautiful, striking art, and cutting words both, QUARANZINE is a feast for those with macabre tastes!"
With Claude’s beautiful gorno art and Hellinger’s tantalizingly macabre prose, Guillozine fills in a niche of queer erotic horror that desperately needs to grow. You may not know exactly what the hell you just read, but I can guarantee it is unlike anything you have seen."
Each drawing carries on this tight-rope walk between attraction and repulsion that Claude refines more and more each time he puts out new content […] Hellinger’s prose is gripping. It’s horror that shares veins with Guillermo del Toro’s body of work, with folktales that warn against stepping off the trail or looking in the forbidden room […] Guillozine is the kind of zine that deserves to be held and poured over."
It’s a fun puzzle to figure out what connects all of the stories in one zine [...] Quaranzine is not for the faint of heart, it’s not my usual type of read but I’m hooked on Two Dead Queers content."
"Claude and Roan come straight out of a John Waters movie, nasty and full of outrageous kinks that would make the moral police of the church and Tumblr shake their fists with fury. And they don’t give a fuck."
GUILLOZINE contains art and stories that dare to push the boundaries."
