“A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.”
— Franz Kafka

Black Flowers is an online arts journal. Edited and curated by Katie Doherty - it explores the intersection of literature, visual art, and magic.

The journal dances between the beautiful and the grotesque, the magic and the mundane, the body and the soul. It employs themes of symbolism, magic, literature, art and the dichotomy of the psyche.

We are the dreamers, the readers, the writers, the artists and everything in-between.
