Obsidian Dolls Magazine: Blood & Velvet 2026 Volume 2 Ava Audleigh Cover

Blood & Velvet is a limited seasonal edition of Obsidian Dolls Magazine, reclaiming Valentine’s Day from glittered clichés and returning it to something deeper, darker, and far more enduring. Within these pages, romance is not performative - it is textured, layered, and unapologetically dramatic. Featuring curated gothic photography, alternative pin-up, fine art, poetry, and short stories, this issue explores passion in its many forms: devotion, longing, resilience, and self-possession. Crafted as a collectible rather than a mass-market release, Blood & Velvet is intended as a keepsake for lovers of dark beauty - a volume to archive, display, and cherish as part of an ever-growing Obsidian Dolls collection.
