Editorial Focus
Ink Bleeds Press is a literary horror zine and small press for the strange, the weird, and the dark. It publishes fiction, poetry, and art that burrows into the marrow and refuses to let go. Purposeful darkness, literary bones, psychological rot.
Think of it as a photocopied, stapled, xeroxed zine passed hand to hand, the kind of thing you weren’t sure you were supposed to be reading. It was born in 2026, but its spirit goes back to 1986, to the underground presses and the people who made things because they had to, not because anyone asked.
Tips From the Editor
The editors of Ink Bleeds have a soft spot for stories that unravel the mind and play tricks with the page. We love the creeping madness of The Yellow Wallpaper, the slippery, haunted reading experience of The Raw Shark Texts, and the labyrinth of House of Leaves. Beyond those, we want anything that makes us worry, shriek, or squirm. If a story leaves us checking the locks, rereading the last line, or sleeping with the light on, we want to publish it.
