The Rogue Writers Journal

After a couple of years of production exclusively via paper, nine writers have assembled online to observe, critique, analyze, imagine, stew, stir, and spew their way through the post-industrial-pre-collapse age.

Arachnid Archives: A steamy teapot full of extraterrestrial, terroidal imagination experimentia.

Bookstore Creep: When the walls of bookstores talk, we read.

Peinando Plumas (Brushing Feathers): Tail feathers falling on to the cannabis workers in North America.

Underground Farmer: A handful of dirt from underground farmers & mycologists.

The New Italian Weird: A fringe immersion into contemporary Italian literature.

Passing Through: Modern cult communities observed through the eyes of a passer-by.

The Mad Erosophical Sage: The best broth comes from wisdom teeth.
