The Silent Garden is a peer-reviewed journal, edited and curated by the Silent Garden Collective, a professional group of editors, writers, activists and scholars interested in exploring those liminal borderlands where darkness bends.
The Collective’s aim is to provide an annual journal of exceptional writing and art focussed on horror and the numinous, the fabulist, the uncanny, the weird, the gnostic, the avant-garde, the transgressive, the esoteric, and the dark interstices of the known and unknown world.
The Silent Garden Collective is an organic and changing group of editors. Each volume will be edited and curated by a different group. Thus, given the number of people potentially involved, they thought it prudent to form a Collective.
The inaugural volume features the following:

Transcending the Grotesquerie: The Surreal Landscapes of David Whitlam

“The Raw Food Movement: Comparing Transformative Diets in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and Julia Ducournau’s Raw ,” by V.H. Leslie
