The Odd Magazine

About

The Odd Magazine was born out of the need to give voice to the misfits, the weirdos, the left-outs - the 'odds'. What began on a sultry summer afternoon in May 2012 is now a treasure house edition old e-magazine that publishes alternate creativity in fiction, poetry, art, photography, interviews, videos and more from across the globe. Odd's motto - "Be Odd. Be Very Odd" rings through all its issues - a plaintive sign of disturbance is what marks the oddities.
