The Quotidian Unreal is a playful literary experiment.
Experiment in the sense that we don’t yet know what the outcome will be. But also as an embodiment of the unknown. Can the distinctions between writer, editor, and publisher be broken down? Or even dissolved? Is genre escapable? Can writing be novel? Do rhetorical questions serve any purpose? We don’t know the answers, or where the questions will take us, but we’re asking them anyway.
What we can say tangibly about TQU is that we’re a group of writers who wanted to try something different. We wanted to find out if we could do it all ourselves, to explore our individual and collective writing, combine it, and let it evolve how it will. Most of all, we wanted to let things be weird.
TQU is an experimental collective. A camaraderie of creatives. Among us are writers from the realms of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and all the spaces between, linked together via a loose commitment to the weird, the unreal. In keeping with our experimental structure, we embrace the inseparability of form and function by putting narrative traditions into blenders, prisms, and trash bins.
