Mister Midnight

Welcome to Mister Midnight, our Mister Magazine genre imprint! Mister Midnight seeks your strange and perverse, your mystical and macabre, your phantasmagorical and most freaky works. Send us the piece that you worry might be ‘too much’ for our general issue–whatever that might mean. In the words of Nancy Downs, “we are the weirdos, Mister.” Our Mister Midnight issues will serve as mirrors to our general issues, providing a genre-infused alternative interpretation of the adjacent issue’s theme. Issue 1 will be published as a mini-zine alongside Mister Magazine Issue 4, and will share the theme of Movement.

In this unnatural world, nothing is ever at rest. Bones snap to brittle, guts drip to dessert. Stomachs churn and tumble: moving. Worms rumble through the dirt, gnawing for a feed. Limbs tangle up to tear you from your spine, into abyss. Forest becomes fire, body becomes blood. Human teeth become machine. Tasting turns to tug. Stirring, screaming, dancing, dreaming; how will you be moved? 

For Mister Midnight Issue 1: Movement, we invite you to tell stories of motion and migration, action and agitation, disturbance and dance–an exploration of what is possible when we let ourselves be moved.
