If your literary taste lives just outside the margins, you’re in the right place. We celebrate the unusual, the unorthodox, and the sometimes uncomfortable truths of life.

For the wanderers, the creep seekers, and lovers of the mythical, the magical, and the weird. A combination of the best new horror and fantasy hand-picked each month.

Pick me ...

• If you like: otherworldly fiction that transports you to whimsical (or horrifying, or whimsically horrifying) places.
