NIGHTMARE is a digital 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.

Welcome to issue #142 of NIGHTMARE! We have original short fiction from Thomas Ha ("Grottmata") and Megan Chee ("The Museum of Cosmic Retribution"). Our Horror Lab originals include a poem ("Automaton Boy") from Sara S. Messenger and a flash story ("Phantom Taste of Apricot on My Tongue") from Richard Leis. We also have the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word," plus author spotlights with our authors. In our de_crypt_ed column, where we bring in visiting authors to discuss books that have been their biggest influences, Donyae Coles talks about gothic fiction.
