We’re hard at work finishing the editing and publishing process for our first issue of the Dark Comedy Review, our print companion journal dedicated to exploring the dark undercurrents of current events. Issue one, entitled “The Fantasy Economy”, explores the current economic malaise and the pressures of the world of work. The issue features an anonymous review of the causes of the financial crisis by the Dark Comedy Hour’s own Wall Street Insider, as well as stories exploring military life, sexual mores in Brooklyn Hipsterville, unemployment, and the psychological terrain in Jos, Nigeria.
If you haven’t heard back from us yet about your submission(s), we’re still reviewing your material and may keep your work under consideration for future issues. Thanks for your patience! We’re a stumbling operation, but a determined one! Issue one should come to press around the beginning of April.
As you may also see, we’re overhauling our website: it’s a frantic scene over here, poems and stories strewn all over the floor and pasted to the walls, bloodshot code-filled eyes, spilled beverages and tangled computer cables. It’s a bona fide fire hazard. Please stay tuned!
