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 #161 of NIGHTMARE! We have original short fiction from Everdeen Mason ("The Ghost in Apartment 5K") and Marisca Pichette ("Twelve Facts About the Dermestid Beetle").
Our Horror Lab originals include a flash piece ("Rest Stop") from Pedro Iniguez and a poem ("when i die") from Matthew Wollin. We also have the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word," plus author spotlights with our authors. Plumbing the Depths, our readers guide series, returns with a discussion of why horror writers love to talk about writing-and which books do it best.
