HTMLGIANT is an online literature blog founded by American author Blake Butler. It presents itself as a "literature blog that isn't always about literature", and includes book reviews and interviews. It is considered to be an important outlet for alternative literature, a lose literary movement.
History
The website was founded in 2008 by Gene Morgan and Blake Butler.[1] In 2014, the site shut down due to allegations of sexual misconduct by members of the alt-lit community.[2] Two years after shutting down, the site was brought back online in 2016.
