The Bees Are Dead!

Leave a comment

If you prefer darker poetry, art and photography, then please stay current with The Bees Are Dead, the transatlantic indie lit magazine devoted to dystopian visions.

The most recent publication there is an absolutely stunning poem by Paul Brookes.

There is also some wonderful work by poets Matthew Borczon and David Spicer, the list of B.A.D.’s nominations of Sundress Publications’ “Best of the Net” 2018, and some truly awe-inducing photography of “dereliction and decay” by urban explorer Carl Bennett.

Do stop in.

Bee there or bee square.

There’s been some truly terrific new poetry published over at The Bees Are Dead; please stop by to enjoy a few dark or dystopian visions in verse.

The site is hosting both Paul Brookes’ “Telehaptic Love” and Wayne F. Burke’s “Bomber.”

You can also find what is a first for B.A.D. — Alastair Gambling’s “tone-poem,” entitled “A Certain Period.”  From the B.A.D. Facebook page: “Gambling is a musician/music teacher by trade and this composition is a feat of technical brilliance. Experimenting with minimalism, unconventional time-signatures and discordant harmonies, ‘A Certain Period’ builds-up gradually creating a wonderfully evocative soundscape of paranoia and timelessness with an appropriately sci-fi aesthetic – very dystopian!”

Dennis Villelmi reviews Barbie Wilde’s “Voices of the Damned”

Leave a comment

There’s a terrific review over at The Bees Are Dead for Barbie Wilde’s short story anthology, “Voices of the Damned.”  If you’ve been following this blog, then you know that my colleague Dennis Villelmi interviewed Wilde for B.A.D. last Halloween — in addition to being an accomplished author, she is none other than the female Cenobite from 1988’s “Hellbound: Hellraiser II.”

The review is right here: Voices of the Damned.  And while you’re over at B.A.D., be sure to check out some dystopian poetry by Paul Brookes and Robert Alan Rife.
