Folklore Review
@folklorereview
Folklore Review is a literary journal for magic enthusiasts. We love unique works born from magic, myths, and legends. The weirder, the better.
Earbuds you can’t undo. A string of lights you can’t separate. Like Ouroboros, let your poem eat its own tail. Let your short story fold into itself. What truth or image might become untangled? ~ Matt wants to read your micro!
