about us

Rotten Luck is an online literary sanctuary devoted to the strange, the uncanny, and the beautifully unsettling. We seek to illuminate writing where faith tangles with doubt, guilt blossoms into yearning, and beauty is always plagued with decay.

Explore our Pick of the Month to taste the essence of who we are, and join us in celebrating literature that bleeds and prays.
