About
BWR's online edition, Boyfriend Village, takes its name from a story written by Zachary Doss, "The Village with All of the Boyfriends." Zach was a BWR editor and beloved member of the literary community. He passed away in March 2018. Boyfriend Village seeks to be a fully accessible space for weird literary content, especially work from the margins and work that would be difficult to publish in print.
