By Alex McGinty I was born, so to speak, in the attic of a house in St Petersburg in Russia, at 3:34 AM on the 3rd of July, 2024. The individual who birthed me had a name, and that name was Krysov Grigorovich. Krysov peers at my computer monitor with his eyes. I use the feed … More The Trappings of Humanity

By Alex McGinty Creaking joints and spirits grey, Lay dark tablets down this day. Taught of Cthulhu, you must know, As above, so below. Like snarling tomcat, filled with hate, The wicked must accept their fate. With examination of hollow love, As below, so above. The coven dances on the hill, Spreading dread, fear, doom, … More So Below

The boy, Isaac, begins to shake as Callum whispers a single, cursed word. “Uno.” Isaac … More Soul Hunter
By Ed Wallace The soft light of the cool autumn sun fades as it bathes the feast, the last of the winds give gentle caresses to leaves all the colours of flame. All the fallen fruit has been gathered and the mighty storms recede for another season. A time for food and feast, tale and … More The Butterfly, the Whale and the Pineapple
By Joe Paternoster “You’re such a fucking hoe,” I growl, as I impale my foot with the haunting metal tool, having been relentlessly hoeing the soil below. In unrelenting agony, I collapse onto the floor with all the grace of an elephant, and find that I’ve unfortunately slit an artery. Blood begins to fill my … More You’re Such a F*cking Hoe
By Liam Martin They walked side-by-side under the blanket of midnight. A man and a woman, both cloaked. They kept from the paths of civilisation, instead going over fields and through dells. “But they have lost faith in what they once held sacred,” Ouranos said. “They have forgotten the undying balances that govern life; they … More The Old Ways
