Aberration Labyrinth Magazine

This project is believed to be defunct. (July 2025)

About

Aberration Labyrinth (AL) was established in 2012 by Jessica Gleason and Ben Mohr. The two shared a dream of expanding the publication world beyond the narrow confines of mainstream print media. AL now enjoys a readership of several thousand, monthly.
So, what are we looking for? Poetry, Two -Sentence Stories, and Artwork.
We are looking for underground writers who are looking for a place to muck up the internet with their bold and interesting writing. We treasure work that strays from the path. We want raw, evocative, emotional writing. Send us horror, thrillers, dark fantasy, drunken romantics, gritty realism, etc. We love imagery. We love free verse; we also love the aubade. The form is up to you. However, we do not traditionally publish prose poems at this time.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.
