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.

Go read Issue 18 of Bone Parade! You'll find five fabulous short stories about surgically removing interior junk, crushing ladders to the moon, a mother creating a daughter on a farm of enterprising sons, a world where time is put in a blender, and bodies and bullying. Enjoy! www.boneparade.com
Issue 17 is live! This issue features five fabulous stories. They explore the morality of a shop that sells human remains to the rich, a deteriorating relationship with a faceless partner, a man with a rock growing from his forehead, mysterious eclipse mice, and a boy trying to save his brother from La Llorona.
Enjoy! And happy New Year! We love you.
Issue #16 is up! Read about a bailador who can't stop dancing; a woman watches her grandson chase love and the last chicken on earth; a man whose flatmate is a deceased Civil War soldier; a narrator from a world with four-winged tropical birds reflects on growing up with bright orange hair; and a man is mysteriously pulled into the Scrublands where he's forced to dig for groobs.
These stories are so good!
