Having possibly the most accurate title ever, Girls & Corpses is exactly what it sounds like -- a magazine filled with pictures of pretty girls and dead things.

It works because, according to Rhine, “you can put a beautiful girl next to anything and sell it — even a corpse.”

Yes, there’s a quarterly magazine called Fencepost and it’s literally about fences. It’s published by the American Fence Association, which apparently has it’s own convention in Las Vegas (March 4-8, 2014).
