If you’re looking for a way to spend a lazy Sunday evening, then stop over at The Bees Are Dead for the best in dystopian poetry, prose, art and photography.
There’s some haunting poetry by Jonathan May and Jon Bennett, as well as some stark, vivid photography of abandoned buildings by Kathryn Nee.

Today is the first day of Autumn. Why not stop over at The Bees Are Dead, and mark the encroaching cold with a few dark futuristic visions?
There you’ll find Gary Glauber’s “After the Deluge”, which is a sanguine twist on the usual narrative of the post-apocalyptic poem. There is also some truly arresting photography — Paul Gerrard’s “Monochromatic Beginnings” is shudder-inducing and delightfully monstrous, and Kathryn Nee’s ““Windows into the End” is a haunting exhibition of abandonment art.
