Fiend Bookshop

Fiend is an online and pop-up bookshop based out of Naarm (so-called Melbourne) that showcases zines, small press and independent publications; both local and international.

In a lot of ways zines and small press can be considered the finger food of the literary world, often a snack-sized accent to the main event. At Fiend, they centre and serve such publications; all situated in varied socio-cultural positions, to highlight and hero the stories of their modern moment.

Fiend believes reading is self-educational and self-explorative. It forces you into another’s shoes, it allows you to see yourself. It brings you closer to others. Reading doesn’t always require words.
