Despite what it may provisionally look like, the book you are holding is categorically not a book about Star Wars.

Author J.A. Bæblade comments on the power and proliferation of fandom culture, showcasing the popularity of Star Wars, even referring to it as the "bloated Disney-owned franchise".
Resumo: Mauled To Death zine explores Darth Maul fan culture.
