The Curiosities by Adventures in Madness

The Curiosities is a dark, immersive digital magazine exploring the strange, the unsettling, and the unexplained. We explore true eerie encounters, psychological phenomena, near-death experiences (NDEs), and serial storytelling.

Blending original short fiction, real-life accounts, and reflective essays, the magazine examines fear, intuition, survival, and the thin veil between what we see and what we feel. From unsettling personal experiences and strange news to symbolic analysis and haunting narratives, The Curiosities is designed for readers who are drawn to the unknown—but want substance, not shock.

This magazine is perfect for fans of dark storytelling, paranormal experiences, psychological mystery, true crime adjacent stories, liminal spaces, and introspective horror. Each issue is crafted to be read slowly, felt deeply, and remembered long after the final page.

In this Issue

The Velvet Asylum is where fiction loosens its restraints.

This section houses our ongoing serial stories — dark, surreal, and unapologetically strange. These are not standalone tales meant to be consumed and forgotten. They unfold over time, pulling the reader deeper with each installment. Stories like Quasis and It’s Your Time don’t ask for comfort or clarity — they offer immersion, tension, and the uneasy feeling that something is watching from just outside the frame.

The Velvet Asylum is reserved for narratives that blur reality, bend morality, and take risks. The rides here are wild, psychological, sometimes humorous in the darkest way, and often unsettling. This is where characters fracture, rules break, and the reader is invited to sit with discomfort rather than escape it.

If you’re looking for neat endings, this isn’t the place.
If you’re willing to follow a story into the unknown — welcome in.

Note: Not every asylum is meant to cure you.

PREVIEW

Ink and Blood The Real is where lived experience takes center stage.

This section is devoted to true stories and reflective essays that examine instinct, pain, history, and truth without softening the edges. These pieces draw their power from reality — from the body, from memory, and from the consequences of knowing. Works like What the Body Knows, Pain, Blood, and Red Pill explore survival, the human condition, inherited narratives, and the difficult choice between truth and comfort.

Ink and Blood is not concerned with spectacle. It is concerned with honesty. With naming what is often minimized or left unspoken, and with sitting inside questions that do not offer easy answers.
