Description: In a series of personal essays, lists, and photo collages, Liz Mason combines themes and tropes survey respondents reported least enjoying in zines. The Most Unwanted Zine contains a satirical piece from the perspective of a self-pitying and narcissistic "social justice warrior," exaggerated poetry, photos of 30 fire escapes, a recipe for an inedible vegan pie, and more. The zine ends with a parody of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl," in which the author includes readers' various gripes about their zine-related pet peeves. —Alekhya
Notes: Cover title.

"The Most Unwanted Zine is based on research culled from zine readers via a Google survey and my experience selling Qustomized Quimby's Zine Packages at Quimby's Bookstore."

This zine was made during the COVID-19 pandemic, but is not explicitly about the virus.
