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 123 of NIGHTMARE! Our short stories this month revolve around the home. We kick off the month with a zombie-meets-haunted-house story that will make you want to either deep-clean your house or burn it down: "Break the Skin if You Have To," by writing trio Emma Osborne, Cadwell Turnbull, and Jess Essey. Mari Ness brings us a sadder story of life indoors in her unsettling tale "Wallers." Our Horror Lab originals include "Three Symptoms of a Disaster," a poem of grief and catastrophe from Angela Liu. Chris DiLeo shares his unsettling experiences with the death of loved ones in his micro personal essay "Still Breathing." As for our nonfiction, Adam-Troy Castro recommends a book and a movie to enjoy while you're staying close to the fireplace, while Eric Raglin talks about heavy metal that scares in his "The H Word" essay. And of course we have author spotlight interviews with our short fiction writers to help you see what makes them tick. Plus, our ebook readers will also enjoy an excerpt from Erika T. Wurth's novel, White Horse.
