Bloodletter is a feminist horror magazine showcasing personal and analytical perspectives on the horrific by women, trans, and non-binary writers.


Bloodletter is a biannual feminist horror magazine publishing personal and analytical perspectives on the horrific by women, trans, and non-binary writers. Bloodletter offers an exploratory space for writers to share their lived experiences of horror and the theoretical implications of the genre through fiction, non-fiction, film critique, interviews, and poetry. A featured artist is selected to illustrate each issue, resulting in an unconventional multidisciplinary digital platform that offers new and vital perspectives on the horror genre.

Our core values are to celebrate marginalized voices and empower emerging writers. Bloodletter is a magazine and a community, bonded by the alchemic capacity of storytelling to transform horror into liberation.
