It’s easy, when we’re bombarded incessantly with bad writing that mainly promotes nazis, grifters, and grifting nazis, to forget that the internet is still home to a lot of badass writing. It used to be home to even more badass writing. When online litmags shut down, sometimes their websites, and the work published therein, shut down, too. The goal of Derelict Lit is to bring some of that lost work back. Every story and poem published on this website has been published before in a now defunct litmag. Enjoy or whatever.

All stories and poems in Derelict Lit are republished with the permission of the authors. All rights belong to the authors.

Note: this project is on indefinite hiatus, but as long as Malarkey is operational the work will stay online.
