Thermidor is "a zine of adventure and miscellany" published once a year by Philadelphia resident Katya Dolorosa, formerly known as Kate Amok, since 2003.

Though technically a per-zine, Thermidor highlights the the bizarre side of life rather than the everyday.
Every issue includes an interview with a fascinating person and a surreal cover design by Kat's partner Erik. The layouts are Xeroxed cut-and-paste.
Kat's friend David often contributes stories, and the two are now at work on a split zine regarding their respective travels abroad.
