Fiction that lives in the body.
Art that refuses to look away.

larvae publishes dark feminine literary fiction and photographic art in themed issues. I am interested in the unsettling, the liminal, the feminine uncanny. Each issue is a curated object — 3 to 5 stories, 3 to 5 photographic works, bound by a single theme.

The Voiceless Issue

What does it mean to be unheard? To speak and leave no trace? Issue 01 explores silence as substance — the things we cannot say, the bodies that carry what language refuses.

We want
your darkness.

Larvae is open to fiction and photographic art that unsettles. We read everything ourselves. We respond to everyone. The €3 fee keeps our queue considered — not a barrier, but a small act of seriousness on both sides.
