Augury has been a concept in the works for nearly thirteen years. It's a testament to the power one passionate idea can possess when it is nurtured and pursued. We are so excited to bring this concept into the public for the first time, ever...
We are so grateful for our experience, as we created seven beautiful issues over the last two years. The excitement and shares meant everything to us.
To all our subscribers: your subscriptions have been canceled but you will recieve this year's deluxe issue as a parting gift and thank you.
All prior issues will remain live and available for purchase.
It's always been quality over quantity. We held ourselves to incredibly high standards for the Magpie and we don't want it to suffer due to lack of time.
Hopefully in the future we can bring the Magpie back fully but for now we will pour it all into Halloween.
I personally can't thank everyone enough. I'm so proud of the Magpie and I've cried a few tears over this change.
A huge thank you to my co-founder @markmakesart247 without whom there never would have been a Magpie to begin with. Thank you for always pushing me to achieve bigger and better visions.
A huge thank you to @aimeenicole525 who edited the Magpie submissions and without whom I would surely have drowned in the work load. Thank you for your constant dedication to the cause.
To all our contributors: You made the Magpie a success with your submissions and shares. You believed in us and we believed in you. Perfect harmony. Thank you for the journey.
The Magpie will return this Halloween 🎃 👻

"When a fifteen year old boy runs away from home following the brutal, mysterious death of one of his classmates, Matt is hired to track him down. The detective is soon led into a shadowy world filled with supernatural creatures that he’d always assumed were nothing more than the stuff of late night horror movies. He’s forced to call in his friend, the young wizard Randy to help, but will even Randy’s magic be powerful enough to stop one of the most notorious rogue wizards of all time? It soon becomes clear that the only way that any of them will survive through the night is to somehow find a way to break the vampire’s curse!"

HAUNTED HALLWAYS arrives this Tuesday, August 1st from our founder @ravven_white
"If there is one thing I know, it is that you should never, ever walk these hallways alone..."
What does it take to break a heart? Rejection? Betrayal? Madness? Perhaps a twisted seduction of all three. And what happens when the heart breaks? It rots.
"A complex look at grief and heartbreak through the lens of horror and poetry."
There's still time to preorder a physical copy on our website and get a special gift!
"Planted ambitions. Wounds that never heal. Cycles of generational trauma that keep us from breaking free of our turmoils. Suffused with Gothic undertones, THE LIES WE WEAVE collection of dark poetry and prose is a journey of self discovery that offers a unique perspective of one woman’s path toward healing. Beauty, darkness, pain, and hope can be found along the way so long as we allow ourselves to take those first steps into the unknown."

"Meet Athena Arden, a feisty small town librarian and psychic who runs a paranormal investigation team “the Jersey Shore Paranormal Society “ with her hopelessly nerdy and devoted husband Dennis.
When the JSPS finally decides to take on the mystery of the Garden State’s resident cryptid, the Jersey Devil, Athena leads her team deep into an isolated part of the Pine Barrens where people have recently been found murdered - and soon realizes that she may’ve bitten off more than she can chew this time!
Along the way, Athena will discover the strange truth behind the Jersey Devil and her own family’s hidden history - but will she and her friends live to tell the tale?"
