Hypnos Magazine

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2021)

About

Founded in 2012, Hypnos Magazine strives to promote the best weird fiction in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allan Poe, and Arthur Machen. Dismayed by the state of contemporary weird fiction and the lack of respect it has fostered, we seek to encourage bold, thought-provoking literature that looks beyond the vampires, werewolves, and goblins that have become the staples of the genre.
