Baba Yaga Burns Paris to the Ground by Wren Awry is a radical, myth-infused essay zine that blends folklore and political critique. It reimagines the Slavic witch Baba Yaga as an anarchic, world-burning force — a symbol of feminist rage and rebellion against imperialism, capitalism, and the city itself. Awry’s writing collides myth, ecology, and insurrectionary theory, positioning Baba Yaga as both destroyer and midwife of renewal, torching the old world so something wilder and freer can grow.
Originally released in small-press form (often through underground or DIY publishers like Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness), it carries that handmade, xerox-and-ink aesthetic you see on the cover — gritty, black-and-white, and defiantly outside the mainstream.
