The Night Manual Made in Michigan Writers Series: A Literary Exploration of Michigan's Dark Side

Michigan is a state with a rich and complex history, a landscape that is both beautiful and unforgiving, and a culture that is both welcoming and insular. It is a state that has produced a wealth of talented writers, from Ernest Hemingway to Elmore Leonard to Joyce Carol Oates. But there is another side to Michigan, a darker side that is often overlooked or ignored. This is the side that the Night Manual Made in Michigan Writers Series seeks to explore.

The Night Manual is a literary project that was founded in 2015 by two Michigan writers, John M. Cunningham and Aaron Sturgis. The series publishes short stories, essays, and poetry that explore the dark side of Michigan, from its history of violence and crime to its harsh winters and unforgiving landscape. The series has published work by some of the state's most talented writers, including Jim Daniels, Dorianne Laux, and Jeffery Eugenides.
