What are we looking for?

 

Bleached Butterfly accepts horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy in the form of fiction, creative non-fiction, all styles of poetry, visual art, and photography. Give us written and visual stories of fictional and real life monsters. Move us in crazy directions and make our skin crawl. Show us anything from realism to abstract and everything in between. Haunt us with the ghosts of your past and pull out those skeletons in your closet. We are open to personal experiences, whether that be paranormal or dark times you have experienced. Depression is a nasty kind of monster. "Dark" is a broad topic that can mean various things to different people. We'd like to see your interpretation!
