Marrow Magazine

A man visits his estranged father and stumbles upon a field of dead children who refuse to decay. A woman's vivid dreams of her late mother are continually interrupted by the inexplicable buzzing of a faulty electric shaver. A disgraced president of a small religious college decides to throw his life away, casting himself down a perilous road that challenges his outlook. An actuary for an insurance company, is haunted by faces of the anonymous masses whose deaths he has forecast.

The line between the ordinary and the extraordinary blur in Marrow Magazine's surreal Issue 15. In this carefully curated collection of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, hybrid, and more, both established and emerging writers explore themes of grief, hauntings of memory, lost innocence, parental worry, and more.

Founded in 2021, Marrow is an indie literary magazine committed to publishing fabulist, feminist work that delves into dark, feminine spaces. We're interested in experimental writing that uses compelling language and imagery to remind us what it means to be human, that makes wonderful the plain and strange the ordinary.
