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, Mimi Mondal plays with a classic Bengali trope about ghosts in her new short story "Malotibala Printing Press." Remember being in school and writing bibliographies for your papers? Well, Nibedita Sen spins that academic exercise into true horror in her new short "Ten Excerpts from an Annotated Bibliography on the Cannibal Women of Ratnabar Island." We also have some nightmarish reprints by Micah Dean Hick ("The Deer Boy") and Philip Fracassi ("Fail-Safe"). Writer, podcaster, and all-around geek Aaron Duran brings us the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word." Of course we have author spotlights with our authors, and we also have a feature interview with Gabino Iglesias. Plus, our e-book readers will get a special e-book exclusive excerpt from Mary SanGiovanni's new novel, INTO THE ASYLUM.
