Cease, Cows [1]
At Cease, Cows, the editors want to explore the contemporary, the strange, the big questions. They want to feel cultural pulses, expose mental arteries, bathe in both the sanguine and sanguinary. They want to publish prose with fire and truth. Humans may be animals, but the power of words can allow them to revel in or transcend the physical. The best literature achieves both—or something profound like that.
We want: strange literary, magical realism, speculative, slipstream, utopian and dystopian, bizarro, apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic, and just plain weird fictions.
We do not want: racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive work containing gratuitous violence, gore, misogyny, rape, molestation, etc. We reserve the right to not respond to such submissions. We are also not seeking work that is written, cowritten, or assisted by AI.
