THE transformative power of FICTION!
Welcome!
The Indian Gothic Literary Magazine was launched in January 2026. It serves as a heartfelt tribute to the captivating realm of Gothic fiction and its numerous offshoots and sub-genres that have fascinated readers and filmmakers alike for over two centuries. We extend a very warm welcome to all our readers, creative writers, passionate playwrights, and craft nerds, both from India and around the world! Please consider making us your home.
Our doors may creak a little, but they remain wide open for anything.
Our mission is to champion new and established voices by publishing short stories and one-act plays that appreciate the conventions of genre writing without falling into the big old predictability trap of tropes and moody settings.
We will present work inspired by India’s gothic literary heritage (I believe it exists and remains unrecognised). Indian Gothic encourages stories and plays that are possibly drawn from the nation’s colonial past, rich history, evocative architecture, diverse cultures, religious practices, enduring prejudices and belief systems in the current age, and ancestral legends and myths that have refused to perish.
