The Rabbit Hole is a yearly anthology of weird stories selected from submissions to The Writers' Co-op.

 

 

From galaxies to ghouls, viruses to voles, zwitterions to zawns, weirdness abounds. It comes in many forms, some best to avoid, others a joy to behold. Weirdness is part of the fabric of life, the very fact that anything exists at all.

Perhaps because it is everywhere, there's no specific literary genre weird. The closest we find is speculative, but the aim there is different, and it doesn't capture the sound and the fury, the pandemonium and mystery all around us.

At the Writers Co-op, we established The Rabbit Hole to give weirdness an anthology of its own. As befits the ubiquity of it, the texts here explore a wide variety of situations and settings, from the outer reaches of space to the darkest nooks and crannies of the human mind.

Fiction perhaps, but who can say that what you'll find in these pages isn't already happening? Because when you stop to ponder it, don't we all, every day, do six impossible things before breakfast?
