-A garden of quiet, powerful fiction.-
We publish small stories that nourish the soul. We believe in the quiet power of words to heal, connect, and inspire. We seek fiction that offers beauty, hope, and meaning—even in subtle, ordinary moments.
Hello and welcome to Belladonna’s Garden.
We are here for your stories that blur the lines between history and imagination, memory and myth. Give us fiction rooted in real worlds—whether 1923 or 2023—but with something just a little strange or wonder-full. Magical realism, soft surrealism, cozy horror, or folklore-inspired tales are welcome, especially if they whisper rather than shout. We hope you feel at home.
