Called "The learned person's approach to all things dark and lovely" by the Azrael Project Newsletter, for 10 years Morbid Curiosity magazine presented true, first-person accounts of unusual experiences. Morbid Curiosity was an annual journal published and edited by Loren Rhoads.
I recently came across these wonderful magazines and they are one of the things that prompted me to want to start a book distro. Sadly, issue #10 was the last one done, and issues #1-4 are out of print. The lovely Loren Rhoads is one of the nicest people I've ever had the good fortune to do business with. These magazines (various essays by different authors) are full of the kind of content that I can't get enough of. Seriously. Look at that shit.
