Rosette Maleficarum: A literary journal of dreams, nightmares, and madness

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2024)

About

The Rosette Maleficarum began in 2017, a few weeks after the autumn equinox. This literary journal shows the beautiful, yet depraved nature that lies within reality, both in humanity and the environment surrounding us. From dark, Gothic fairy tales, to dream-laced poems, the Maleficarum dances between the boundaries of life and death itself.
