NIGHTMARE is an online horror and dark fantasy magazine. In NIGHTMARE's pages, you will find all kinds of horror fiction, from zombie stories and haunted house tales, to visceral psychological horror. This month, we have original fiction from Adam-Troy Castro ("Pitcher Plant") and Emma Osborne ("Don't Pack Hope"), along with reprints by Lee Thomas ("Fine in the Fire") and Carmen Maria Machado ("Horror Story"). Author Desirina Boskovich turns her attention to Midwestern horror in the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word." We also have author spotlights with our authors and a feature interview with haunt travel writer Chris Kullstroem.
