About

We are looking for stories that capture ordinary madness-the down and dingy corners of life. Send us the last little hope before getting a boot to the face. Send us experimental fiction littered with philosophies on a mission to corrupt the norms. Essentially, we're looking for Beat fiction. Fiction that breaks the conventional norms of writing. Be an outsider. Think differently. Get weird and don't be afraid. This anthology is inspired by the Beat Generation writers, a literary movement that is getting a rebirth today.
