Shroud Magazine publishes speculative fiction with a dark orientation. In addition, Shroud features original art, film, music reviews, and articles that illuminate the thin veil between reality and fantasy.
It is our goal to introduce the wonder and thrill of speculative fiction to a much wider audience. To that end, we have enlisted some of the top names in dark fiction to fill our pages. Our fist issue alone featured rare and original work from Michael Laimo, Tom Piccirilli, Stephen Mark Rainey, and Tim Waggoner. In addition, our inaugural issue also included an insightful interview with horror master and award-winner Brian Keene. But that’s not all, we have received 100s of submissions from talented lesser known writers and artists and we are confident that Shroud will play an integral role in the development and discovery of new powerful voices within the genre.
Shroud believes that the audience for well-crafted fiction is growing substantially, and with it, the need for additional ways to quench the growing thirst for horror literature.

“While some may find scholar S.T. Joshi's claim in his introduction that Pulver “can take his place with that of the masters of our genre” (including Poe and Lovecraft) a trifle hyperbolic, all will agree that Pulver is a writer to watch. (Dec.)” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Whatever your expectations may be, check them at the door. Pulver has a truly unique style for the horror genre, and this collection of short stories is a perfect vehicle for this sort of style . . . Pulver is an original.” - Rick Kleffel’s The Agony Column

Thanks! Seriously- keep in touch! I'm not a fan of friend armies. I love to get to know fellow artists, authors, readers, anybody!
"Some writers one admirers and others make one want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I'm grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a creature." - Thomas Ligotti
