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.

This issue features five fabulous stories:
Jie Wang’s "Möbius Band" is beautiful, full of reflection and substance that's tied together by the cruelty of western children’s rhymes.
Abby Sundeen’s “The Body of a Hero” is about a corpse who finds itself reanimated in the morgue with a snarky mortician and a mission to find what it left behind.
