Stygian Lepus Magazine: Spring 2026, Issue #33 – new story by Lawrence Dagstine

I have a new story in Issue #33 (April/Early Spring) of Stygian Lepus Magazine. This would be my third credit with them, third time gracing the journal’s pages these last few years. They are a monthly primarily focused on speculative fiction that is “beyond dark.” Even somewhat cosmic. This time around I have a tale which is one part religious horror, the other part medical horror. Think Robin Cook meets Ira Levin meets T.M. Wright (I used to know him 20+ years ago on a place called Shocklines). What happens when a doctor takes up residency in a rural hospital mysteriously funded by the local church? Who are these cardinals coming in the middle of the night with garbage bags, donning gold crosses? Why are there hundreds of pregnant women lined up outside the hospital’s emergency room all hours of the day? What’s going on in this medical facility? And what exactly is being born in the basement, which requires a special keycard to access? Check out my story in the latest issue of Stygian Lepus: “The Jesus Engine.”

Stygian Lepus, Edition #26. Summer 2025 – NEW MAGAZINES!

For my next new short story, I’m appearing once again in Stygian Lepus. What started out as a subscriber-based webzine two-three years ago is now a beautifully illustrated (big-and-tall!) print magazine with a Kindle version next to it. But I recommend the print. This would be the second time I’ve appeared in Stygian Lepus. I come this time with a horror tale of unspeakable cannibalism and ritual. The hungry sort of rituals that only happens in small towns with the creepiest characters, and only on one day of the week when the sun goes down. Tuesdays. But what kind of feeding takes place in the town of Canaan Hollow? Why Tuesdays, and what does it mean for the residents there? Find out in my new, extreme horror story: “The Hungriest Tuesday.” Now. In Stygian Lepus #26. All links below.
