About

BLEED ERROR features everything from flash fiction and short stories, to poetry, as long as they’re deeply eerie and leave you unsettled in ways you didn’t know you could be unsettled. BLEED ERROR aims to be a love letter to the uncanny, a collection of stories about the bleed error of the universe printing outside the margins of reality.
