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 #158 of NIGHTMARE! We have original short fiction from James L. Sutter ("Make of Your Chest a Place for Birds") and Sharang Biswas ("Bleed For Me, Bro"). Our Horror Lab originals include a flash piece ("Primordium") from Erica Ruppert and a poem ("Futakuchi onna speaks of the Kamaitachi") from Betsy Aoki. We also have the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word," plus author spotlights with our authors.
 
Lisa Morton has also created a great guide to books about scientists exploring the paranormal-so if you loved Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, you'll find some great recommendations.
