A Zine of Your Own

More than books and merch: essential wares for survival in this ever-changing universe.

Our debut zine is a thorough introduction to this changed world, that is, the world in which a comet fell into the Atlantic and slipped silently underwater, causing not a tidal disaster but an energetic wave of mysterious happenings all along the East Coast.

We’ve recently received word that these effects are now being felt as far as Indiana, so now’s your chance to brush up on the basics—after all, your city could be next!

Order a copy today on Etsy, or if you’re among the clever sect who have recently become mistrustful of online storefronts, The Naut Shop (explained below) is open 24/7, midnight to midnight, to midnight again.

Volume 1

Volume I

  • 82 pages, including several full-color spreads. Over 40 original works by artists and writers from all along the Eastern Seaboard. Gorgeous layout and design by Magdalene Kennedy. A custom title page, inscribed with your edition number and stamped in color exclusive to each print run.

    In short, it’s the zine you’ve been dreaming of.

    Shipping is included in the price.

  • This luxury SITW bookmark doubles as an on-the-go index for the zine itself and a calendar for all astronomical phenomena in 2024.

Running a small press ain’t what it used to be. Fees — like the cost of running a functional shop through Squarespace — can quickly add up and squeeze a dollar. But as a zine project, DIY is in our blood (or... water...), and we're committed to stretching our resources in unique ways to keep the focus on the art. That’s why we’ve created the Naut Shop (Naut — short for nautical, punning on "not"). Peruse our wares here. Then, email somethinginthewaterzine@gmail.com with the subject "Naut Shop" to coordinate a purchase.

Landlubbers rejoice: shipping within the Continental US is included in all prices.
