Hexus Journal

[Coelacanth]

Hello everyone,

I thought it might be prudent to bring to your attention something that I've been working on with my co-editor.

Hexus is a new journal placed somewhere between the boundaries of experimental fiction and art writing, illustration and fine art, whilst maintaining a focus firmly on horror—positioning itself somewhere between Hammer Horror schlock and The Shock of the New.

The first issue, The New Black, dwells on (and in) the darkness of dissolution—of body, mind, and spirit. Within its pages you’ll find writing and artwork from an international and highly acclaimed line up, all dealing in their own way with the loss of self—be it through mental deliquescence, miasmatic bleeding out, the ever-narrowing strictures of power, the price of fame, spectral malevolence, Dadaistic tumbles to the void, or good old-fashioned violence.

This issue features previously unpublished work by Michael Cisco, Brian Evenson, Gary J Shipley, and M Kitchell, among others, and artwork from Angela Deane, Dawn Arsenaux, and Fran Cutler.

We launched about three months ago, and I've been meaning to get around to posting here, but life has got in the way somewhat. If you'd like to see more of Hexus, you can get a pretty good idea of what we're doing here, at our website. And here are some photos:
