The Stygian Zine
A Literary Collection
Issue 5 | January 2026
 
Love rots and refuses burial. A woman locks away her lover’s heart. A widow answers a voice that should be gone and finds hunger where devotion once lived. There are ghosts and keepsakes, unmade beds and bruises that remember hands. Rain, music, silence, and the slow violence of endings. These stories hold obsession, grief, and the shapes love takes when it will not loosen its grip.

Issue 5 features the creative works of 12 creators from around the world, each interpreting the death of love in their own unique way.
