The Dream Shard Grimoire A project of Cinnabar Press Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months. About We are especially interested in: horror poetry, weird fiction, flash fiction, experimental poetry and prose, hybrid and genre-dyfing work, occult essays with a literary voice, art that evokes the ephemeral nature of the ineffable, and rituals fetched from the edge of dream.We are looking for pieces that seem dreamed rather than written, forgotten rituals, haunted dreams, forbidden saints, and the visions that linger long after waking- these are the kinds of ineffable places from which your work should be drawn.
