Nightmare_149_February_2025

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 #149 of NIGHTMARE! We have original short fiction from Dan Stintzi ("God of the Black Moon") and Kelsea Yu ("In Our Skin"). Our Horror Lab originals include a poem ("in your mind they still dance") from Ariya Bandy and a flash ("The Sound a Rabbit Might Make") from Bruce McAllister. In our nonfiction projects, we're rolling out a new horror column: "Plumbing the Depths," where you'll get an overview of a horror subtype with a list of must-reads in the field. We're bringing on Neil McRobert, host of the Talking Scared Podcast, to kick us off with a discussion of survival horror! We also have the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word," plus author spotlights with our authors.
