Nightmare Magazine, Issue 125 (February 2023)

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 125 of NIGHTMARE! We're starting the month with "Who the Final Girl Becomes," a story from Dominique Dickey that begins where most stories end: in the middle of a bloodbath. But where the Final Girl takes herself will probably surprise you. The mayhem continues in Erik Grove's skin-crawling short story of obsession and stealth, "Home." If you love language, Ruth Joffre's flash story "A Girl Defines Herself" will satisfy your etymological appetites. We also have an unsettling poem ("When At Last He Was Empty") from Rob E. Boley. Our nonfiction includes interviews with Dominique Dickey and Erik Grove, as well as a full-length interview with author and award-winning editor Eric J. Guignard. In the H Word column, Rena Mason discusses the dark-haired ghost haunting Asian cinema.
