Beatdom Issue Five is Here!

February 1st, 2010

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Naked Lunch, Beatdom's fifth issue includes a William Burroughs tribute section. 

We also have interviews with the Academy Award winning directors of "Howl," and Helen Weaver, author of The Awakener. 

There's also a look at the raging Kerouac estate battle and the role of the internet in forging a new Beat Generation. 

We're proud to bring back Beatdom regular Edaurdo Jones, as well as some magnificent new short fiction and poetry by some of the best writers in the world.

Beatdom #5

The new issue is finally rolling towards completion, and as promised should be released by the end of this year. Once again we are trying desperately to bring down the price of the printed issue, whilst refusing to compromise on our no-ads, high-quality values. Read more...

Beatdom Travel

I'm attempting to put together a literary travel journal - a magazine that brings stories that are closer to On the Road than the Lonely Planet. See here for more info.

Beatdom #5

The fifth issue of Beatdom is coming. We don't yet have a release date, but we want this one to vaguely mesh with the 50th anniversary of Naked Lunch. We have so far gathered an interview with the Oscar-winning directors of 'Howl', the new movie about Allen Ginsberg, and some fantastic poetry and fiction. Read more here.

Beatdom Now

A new project was announced today: Beatdom Now. The name will probably change, but the idea will do no more than slightly evolve... Beatdom Now will be a magazine focusing on contemporary politics and culture, taking a Beat/Gonzo inspired style of writing and editing. Read this for more...
