About

Bone Parade is a literary journal publishing quality works of magical realism, fabulism, speculative, weird, and genre-bending fiction. We're interested in writing that captures what it is to be human, but we love non-human characters with human emotions. We’re partial to character driven stories that sift through the mucky waters of ethics and existentialism. #litmag #MagicalRealism #fabulism #speculative #GenreBending #WeirdFiction #FlashFiction #ShortStory
