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 ("The Ten Things She Said While Dying (An Annotation)") and Carrie Vaughn ("The Island of Beasts"), along with reprints by Gemma Files ("Nanny Grey") and Stephen Graham Jones ("Universal Horror"). Over at "The H Word," Nicole Sconiers takes a close look at common horror tropes about children. Plus, we have author spotlights with our authors, and a book review from Adam-Troy Castro.
