I'm Eli,
I wanted to create a place without the social media influencer pressure to chase attention from giant movie studios and big brands, a place that highlights the strange, and unusual, in contemporary modern speculative fiction. There's some latitude here, but I want to provide a spot that offers counterprogramming from the horror-movie retrospectives, and hype machine around high-profile film releases, and the commercial net they cast. Those sites are wonderful but they increasingly appear ubiquitous.
I want to focus on anything fresh and new that falls outside the usual: books, theater, art, DIY/low(very low) budget film - all relating to speculative, dark fiction. I think many of us are hungry for something new, and I believe it's out there. My hope is for Nocturne to be a song guiding the way. In time, I want to pay writers and artists for contributions as the site grows.
But that's the future. For now, it is just me between a full-time job and my MFA work, and this is just day 1.
This is the first website I've ever built, and I want it to be a place not only to feature and share, but to create, and spread the speculative fiction cult far and wide. My first official book review for the site goes up next week. Give us a follow everywhere. Sign up to comment and get updates to your inbox. This website is for you, the night creature. Dance with the night. Become nocturnal.
