The Mission

Aberration Labyrinth (AL) was established in 2012 by Jessica Gleason and Ben Mohr. The two shared a dream of expanding the publication world beyond the narrow confines of mainstream print media. AL now enjoys a readership of several thousand, monthly. 

When started, AL was a short monthly digest. Since then, it has grown a bit more than Gleason and Mohr were prepared for. So, it's current incarnation is a little different than before. AL publishes one issue each year.

So, what are we looking for?

Poetry, Two -Sentence Stories, and Artwork.

We are looking for underground writers who are looking for a place to muck up the internet with their bold and interesting writing. We treasure work that strays from the path. We want raw, evocative, emotional writing. Send us horror, thrillers, dark fantasy, drunken romantics, gritty realism, etc. We love imagery. We love free verse; we also love the aubade. The form is up to you. However, we do not traditionally publish prose poems at this time. 

If you write nature poems, religious poems, rhyming verse, or boring poetry, please submit them elsewhere. We're not looking for that. If your work promotes rape or hatred (racism, bigotry, etc.), we don't want it. Please don't send it. Consider reading a back issue or two before submitting for the first time.

Authors will receive a full-color PDF of the issue (if you'd prefer an e-pub so you can send it to your e-reader, let us know, we can arrange that too). Please visit us on Facebook. Our editor, Alessia Lehua, will also promote your work on her Instagram page @horrorgirlserenade
