WHAT IS AUGUR MAGAZINE
In Ancient Rome, an Augur was a religious official who looked for the will of the gods in the flight patterns of birds, and who made predictions based on the stories they read there. Today, Augur is a literary magazine that makes room for writing from uncommon perspectives, and brings together the often disparate realms of literary and genre fiction.

EXPLORE AUGUR ISSUE 7.3
Sometimes, to get to the futures you need, you have to get real about the past and present. Often, those realities are dark. This issue is about wading through it, standing in it, taking a look at how those truths can transform us bodily, sometimes in ways we desire, and often, against our wishes. Welcome to the dark side of Augur—contemporary Canadian gothic, body-horror, surrealism, sci-fi, and more—brimming with the physicality of transformation, slicing deep into the underbelly of language.
