Punk Noir Magazine

A project of Punk Noir Press

About

Punk Noir Magazine originally founded in 2017 by the legend and godfather of punk and noir — Paul D. Brazill, is purportedly an online literary and arts magazine that looks at the world at its most askew, casting a bloodshot eye over the written word, film, music, television and more. There are interviews, reviews, poetry, fiction and flash fiction. And some other stuff too, I’m sure. Indeed, a veritable cornucopia of carryings on and murmurs from darkened rooms. Here we showcase new and upcoming literary talents as well as the more established. Punk Noir is a dirty, rough little labor of love. If you’re looking for something neat and manufactured, best go elsewhere…
