The Tentaculum is a quarterly magazine of weird fiction serving as a print edition of the Drabblecast. If you imagine the Drabblecast as an auditory entity of unknowable origin broadcasting weirdness directly into the minds of its many ravenous followers, then think of The Tentaculum as the forbidden book barely containing its obscene, incomprehensible secrets. Each issue features fresh Drabblecast short fiction before it hits the podosphere, along with original illustrations, thought-provoking nonfiction articles, and a mail-in section featuring opinions and thoughts from strange readers such as yourself.
The latest issue of The Tentaculum at any given time is exclusive to Drabblecast Patreon subscribers. Subscribers at the $3/month Acolyte tier get access to the digital edition as soon as it releases each quarter, while Gibbering Priests at the $15/month tier can get their trembling hands on a physical copy of our homage to the glossy pulp magazines of old, the way it was always meant to be experienced.
Previous issues of The Tentaculum are digitally released under a creative commons license for all to enjoy.
