Mandrake is an online journal of Gothic, supernatural, weird, and horror writing publishing fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.

Charles Baudelaire - Thomas Ligotti - Dario Argento - Thomas Bernhard - Jorge Luis Borges - Angela Carter - E. M. Cioran - Shirley Jackson - H. P. Lovecraft - Edgar Allan Poe - Daphne de Maurier - Samuel Beckett - Charlotte Brontë - Bram Stoker - David Cronenberg - John Carpenter - Jon Padgett - Fyodor Dostoevsky - David Lynch - Emily Brontë - Mary Shelley - Andrew Lang - Ann Radcliffe

Mandrake is edited by Eoin Rogers, a graduate of NUI Galway’s Masters in Writing, based in Dublin.
