WE'VE ALL WORN LOTS OF SHOES

The information to the right was obtained using illegal methods.  It is all true.

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 have contributors from all over the country, and recently, have begun to see a large fan base in places like London and Scotland.  We publish prose, poetry, art, and solicited book reviews. A print issue? Yes, in 2010. But for now, feel free to peruse our store.
