The Canadian Sepulchral

This project is believed to be defunct. (September 2026)

About

The Canadian Sepulchral is a wholly Canadian run magazine that showcases talented writers and artists, as well a feature locations and folk tales within the country. Canada has many secrets hiding, and horrors lurking that we think deserve to be just as celebrated as other iconic horror locations. The magazine in that regard separates itself from other more pop culture orientated media in the sense that it is an article of journalism and literacy opposed to a trend chaser. With that being said, we love all horror culture, and without doubt will continue to do so.
