Moonbound Poster
This is the poster I produced for Moonbound’s launch in 2024. It’s a diegetic object, straight from the streets of Rath Varia. This poster won’t be reprinted, so this is your last chance to acquire some limited-edition worldbuilding ephemera!
In Moonbound, about midway through, the beaver Agassiz is guiding Ariel de la Sauvage and Durga Darwin across the wilderness. They come to a plain where “enormous caterpillars migrated in a long, unbroken line, nose-to-tail.”
A short walk later,
They came to the procession of caterpillars. The creatures roared, the ground churning beneath their legs. Agassiz held Ariel and Durga back at a cautious distance, and even so, bits of shredded sod flew up and pelted them.

Shipping for a single zine is $1, anywhere in the world. The cost scales up for 2-3 zines, and 3 zines is the max. All zines are folded for mailing —
Shipping for 1-2 books is $5 inside the U.S. and an eye-watering $30 anywhere else. Those rates increase if you order 3+ books.
Orders go out on Mondays. I don’t accept returns or exchanges. Questions? Email shop@robinsloan.com.
I ship zines via USPS First-Class Mail. When I print your address label, you'll receive a tracking link. Inside the U.S., delivery takes 2-5 days. Anywhere else, delivery takes 1-3 weeks. (International orders are tracked until the USPS hands them off to your local postal service.)
I think it's magical that this work can go nearly anywhere in the world with a single stamp. This shop is, in some ways, an elaborate exercise in post office appreciation.
Countries to which I have dispatched zines, so far: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
