About

We are looking for Noir of a different breed. Picture stories written by the love child of Raymond Chandler and H.P. Lovecraft, with anti-heroes covered in tentacles and mechanized dames. Submit stories of despair and keep the reader guessing who the bad guy really is. Remember, in classic Noir, nobody wins. Infuse these tales with the strangest, most fubar’d worlds a person can imagine. Like all of B’O’G’s publications, leave the reader scratching their head.
