About

Dusty Attic Publishing is a small indie literary magazine, run by writers Jenna & Holl, showcasing all things fantastical, curious, and creepy. The Attic is a place for the kinds of stories that you’d find tucked away in your grandma’s attic, or the forgotten corner of a quiet library. Let’s brush off the dust and cobwebs to shine a little light into the dark.
