The Battered Suitcase was a periodical of new literary fiction short stories, poetry, lyrics, and artwork. An independent arts and literary journal, the “Suitcase” ran from 2008 to 2011, and featured up and coming authors such as Ethel Rohan, Vincent Zandri, Louise Beech, Barbara Annino, and many more. It also featured poetry from a wide variety of modern poets, like Clint Catalyst, Ben Heins, and Kristin Ong-Muslim.
Unlike more academic publications, The Battered Suitcase also integrated work from the indie music world, publishing lyrics from independent music artists like Moist Bamboo and Adam Franklin-Williams , singer songwriter Adam Ficek , and Paul Jarvis . Interviews with alternative music performers explored the literary roots of their work, with in-depth features with ground-breaking artists like Amanda Palmer and Kieran Leonard.
Known for its devilish inclusion of humorous fiction, The Battered Suitcase also featured thematic issues based on seasons, holidays, or sub-genres. Its Halloween issue, published October 2008, is still popular with lovers of dark fiction and horror, with delightfully disturbing images from artists Sarah Hutchinson Burke and Suzzan Blac,
