VICE Magazine 2012 Showbiz Issue: Limited number of print edition featuring Zeena Schreck interview & photos
RARE! Signed and numbered print edition 2012 Vice Magazine 'The Showbiz' Issue, Volume 19 Number 4, featuring 'Beelzebub's Daughter' interview with Zeena by Annette Lamoth-Ramos.
Zeena's in-depth interview featured in this issue was the first after many years hiatus from mainstream media and spanned her early life until the early '00s. After so much interest and feedback generated from this interview, VICE invited Zeena to write her own column, 'From the Eye of the Storm' and many of those articles are still online.
In February 2024, VICE media publishing announced that both the online and print magazines would stop publishing content. BUT we have unearthed a limited number of print copies - 10x English and 13x German - all in original (not pre-owned) condition. Signed and numbered on the lead photo by Zeena, there's also an option to have it personalized to your name.
The Showbiz issue also features an interview with Zeena's godfather, Kenneth Anger (February 3, 1927 – May 11, 2023), 'The Sordid Secrets of Babylon'. (See image of table of contents for all other articles in this issue.)

The only differences between the English and German versions are:
The English edition originally came with a paper wraparound advertisement on the cover for the action-adventure game Dishonored (see image). To offer collectors this item exactly as it was when it hit the stands twelve years ago, we're leaving it on.
The German edition doesn't have any advertising on the cover but does feature a short write-up about photographer Florian Büttner, who did the photo shoot with Zeena (see image) and gives his impressions of that experience. This description is only in the German edition and not included in any of the other VICE language editions of the same issue.
The text translates to:
“Florian took pictures for us of Zeena Schreck, the apostate daughter of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey. In Satanist circles, just mentioning her name leads to premature ejaculation. She is a kind of devilish demigoddess who probably desecrated hosts for the first time as a four year old and, at least until she broke away from her father, was on a first-name basis with Belial. Florian met her in a fairy-tale forest at Lake Grunewald and told us that it was quite a dichotomous experience, as on the one hand she looked like the evil stepmother from Cinderella with her baroque dress and stern appearance, yet on the other hand she spoke like the Buddha.”
