So I have a plan set in place for the next year for Coffinmouth magazine, something I like to call the GREAT TRANSITION. The next issue of Coffinmouth will be crazy, insane, five cents a word but sticking to the roots of the site and just publishing random, unconnected madness.
Issue three will be the move away from Coffinmouth as the name, as the brand, and of the site design. It will get an overhaul, have a new name, a new look and feel, and focus on literary experimental weird fiction. Slipstream, kitchen sink magical realism, weird shit, whatever you want to call it.
Fiction that is mostly modern day, combining surrealism and magical realism, with focuses on characters, no plots, slippery smart works. Stories of a haunted world, so to speak, with heavy surreal touches and poetic language.
That said, I’ve noticed that the first issue of Coffinmouth was heavy towards the masculine sides of things. This wasn’t done on purpose, but I need to rectify this with the second issue: so please, woman writers who rock- send me stuff!
