From @InspiritusPress & the @LiteraryFiction Network, a collection of experimental poetry, prose, photography by 15 brilliant contributors.

The body is the sole mediator between man and universe, the moment between birth and death. Sometimes, there may be unity, love, transcendence and liberation. Other times, separation, lunacy, limitation, atrophy, violence.

In this visionary anthology, the physical body and its relationships are celebrated, examined, distorted, degraded, dissected, exposed.

Gritty and grotesque, surreal and transcendental, curated selections from acclaimed and established authors, emerging student writers, local Torontonians or Literary Fiction Network contributors: B.W. Powe, Takatsu, Evan J. Hoskins, N.J. Greenfield, Aaron Capelli, Daven Sharma, Thomas Arthur Farrell, Sierra Marilyn Riley, Skyler Clarke, C.J. Garrett, Deniz Sonkan, Colette Thomas, Nikita Shorikov, Aaron L. Sheng, Mae Claudette Costan

Subliminal Silence by Codytheunamedone
12 parts Ongoing Mature
Cody Williams can't speak. After a freak accident, he has been rendered mute and has been living with the terrors of that day locked away in his head. One September morning Cody falls through the seat of his school bus and wakes up in the waiting room of Bright Side Mental Asylum, and it's full of people that don't look quite human. Strangely, he doesn't remember quite how he managed to get there. Cody befriends two odd people while at Bright Side: Hazel and Hugo. Hazel is a brave and rebellious teenage girl, and Hugo is an odd easily spooked preteen boy. As time passes, Cody and his friends slowly learn the truth about his past through dark means and horrid realizations, along with discovering terrible secrets of the Asylum they were held in. Memories come to light, and there's only one thing the three will find in the end: The truth.
Peri by LowercaseE9635
17 parts Complete Mature
After months of struggling to work up the courage, Peri finally forces herself to come out as trans to her family. It goes terribly. To make matters worse, that night she and her childhood best friend/older-sister figure of the same name find themselves together in one of the younger Peri's twisted, anxiety-fueled nightmares. The elder Peri swears that the violence they witnessed was nothing more than a dream, but the younger isn't so sure. As her world spirals out of control, the younger Peri sinks deeper and deeper into paranoia and isolation, her best friend the only anchor to reality she has in her increasingly surreal world. Can she confront the psychological root of her distorted reality, or will Peri succumb to her waking nightmare?
Meet Me In The Woods by BingoBorrible
12 parts Complete
A few months ago, Neil would have given up. If his father had taken everything he cared about from him, he would have gone to his father's study and unlocked that drawer and taken out the gun. But he was taught by John Keating for almost an entire term, and if there's one thing he learned, it's Carpe Diem - seize the day. LIVE the day. Neil doesn't give up, because you can't seize the day when you're dead, and sometimes rash decisions are the best decisions. He's not going to let his father take everything he cares about away, not acting, not the poets, and so Neil grabs everything that might be of use and steals his father's car. But back at Welton, he discovers that not only does everyone think he's dead, but Todd - soft, innocent, kind, oblivious Todd, who has no clue what he means to Neil - is hurt - and he won't wake up.

Things I Wish I Could Say To My Mother by kingofinfinitespace
5 parts Complete
What follows here is an anthology of poetry spanning a major transitional period of my life, beginning with the first one I wrote. From casual observations, to heartfelt love poems, to the depths of my journey with depression, my internal struggles with religion, and settling into my exploration of surrealism and aesthetic, this is what I have to offer of my soul. // Oh to be an atom, beholden to it all, I hope you find something in my writing, and godspeed in your journey through the stars. // Cheers and a thousand blessings, Michayla [trigger warning: brief references to suicide/self harm in "Musings Of A Caged Bird"]
The Thorn and His Rose: An Immortalis Chapbook by ImmortalisHorror
14 parts Complete
A theatrical, visceral horror tale. Artistically presented, methodically planned, and cruelly realized. Lovers, serial killers, turning their macabre passion into an artform, but as their depravities grow, so too does their respective paranoias. As the slayings progress, a daring game of cat and mouse ensues, leading to a bloody and horrific climax. Psychological horror that creeps into the cinematic realms of the slasher, the zombie saga, and the vampiric. The tale is framed as a work of poetic art encompassing all of the horror subgenres. It is, at times, humorous and at times reeking of a sombre melancholy. Cultish in its guise, The Thorn and His Rose treads on the most daring and taboo elements of all vengeful tales.
