Three-Lobed Burning Eye Volume IX

Walk through a garden of stone and poison, a cave of secrets, a never-ending forest, a graveyard of extinct species, a theme park of bioengineered mythical beasts. Meet the people returning from years under the ocean, or hiding in the fields for centuries, or the guests who will take whatever they desire. Listen to the hatchlings march inside from the fields on millions of whisper legs, smell the rarest perfume in the universe, feel the cold in the back of the closet from which there is no escape, read the fragments of lost libraries.
Three-Lobed Burning Eye magazine features short stories of horror and the fantastical, inviting you to peer into peculiar worlds, meet unsettling monsters, decipher shrouded secrets all collected here.
