"...the idea behind Rotting Leaf Magazine is to explore the nature-society binary. To break it down and move it and challenge it. That’s the pretentious answer. I could also say that there’s just not enough weird shit getting published so why not some more?"

Interview with Ben Lockwood
eco-horrific, eco-surrealist, eco-weird
"Something I’ve learned is to be relentless about only writing things I want to write and not worrying about what someone else may or may not want to read. There’s no other way to write honestly."

Cover of The Black Vampyre
Just finished The Black Vampyre (1819). It's the first American vampire story and features a Black vampire who enacts revenge for his enslavement during the lead up to the Haitian Revolution. There's a lot to think through, but... 1/2
