About

Brain Soup Magazine is a monthly fiction magazine dedicated to the weird, the bizarre, and the down right odd. There are no boundaries at Brain Soup, for we do not believe in the restrictions of genre. All the elements of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, crime, and all those mixed together are welcome. We look for well written, well thought out stories ranging from literary tales in the style of Poe or Lovecraft to gritty shock-value pulp fiction. Above all, we praise originality in a story.
