decomP is an
online literary magazine that is updated monthly. We have been in existence since April
2004 and we were originally called Decomposition Magazine. We publish prose, poetry, art, and
solicited book reviews. A print issue? Yes, in 2010. Also keep in mind that all accepted submissions are
eligible for our best-of print anthology—provisionally titled decadE oF decomP—slated for release in
2014. But for now, feel free to peruse our
Amazon store, which features the books
we've reviewed.
