Sur-noir
submissions deadline: 20th March 2012
All submissions for this issue to be sent toseinundwerdenguest@gmail.com
This issue will have a guest editor, who says:
“What I’m looking for is surreal noir: what I call ‘Sur-noir’. I would define ‘surreal’ as anything that might be considered weird, dreamlike or nightmarish, illogical, or simply falling outside the genre of traditional realist fiction. My definition of ‘noir’ here extends from that genre, with a capital ‘N’ (think Jim Thompson, Horace McCoy, Patricia Highsmith, etc.) to the detective genre (I’m especially fond of detectives who have an uncanny propensity for losing their footing, a la Quinn in Auster’s City of Glass, or the gumshoe of Abe’s Ruined Map), or indeed to any fiction that is, as the term literally denotes, ‘black’ (i.e. dark). The rest is up to you.”
