About Heretical Sexts

Heretical Sexts is a micro-publishing imprint run by Tenebrous Kate. The imprint was founded to provide an outlet for art and writing focused on niche interests that tease orthodoxies while maintaining a unique perspective and (frequently) a sense of humor. Heretical Sexts publications are collaborative, designed to highlight the unique perspectives of the artists, writers, experts, and story-tellers within their pages.
