Thirteen Myna Birds MATURE CONTENT

A project of Blood Pudding Press (see other related projects).

About

Thirteen Myna Birds is an online poetry publication seeking the evocative, the connotative, the creepy, the odd, the paranormal, and the dark. Glossy trumps dull. Macabre trumps morbid. Thirteen Myna Birds will consist of 13 (or more) pieces at any given time. Our favorite kind of pieces are poems, but we are also in favor of other poetic blurbs and blurts and brambles and darts and snippets such as dreamscapes and petite fictions and other hybridized innards.
