Nightmare Magazine 34: July 2015

NIGHTMARE is an online 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.
This month, we have original fiction from Alison Littlewood ("Wolves and Witches and Bears") and Nate Southard ("The Cork Won't Stay"), along with reprints by Lisa Tuttle ("Replacements") and Christopher Golden ("Under Cover of Night"). In our latest installment of our monthly column, "The H Word," author Paul Tremblay explores the political in horror. Plus, we've got author spotlights with our authors, a showcase on our cover artist, and a panel interview on horror podcasts, featuring Kc Wayland and David Cummings.
"The hike hadn’t been Ella’s idea. Of course it hadn’t; nothing about this holiday was. It was Nick who’d chosen the destination, Nick who’d chosen the hotel. It was Nick who wanted to go walking, though the day was hot, the sun already furious. At least, she thought as she pulled on the new hiking boots he’d insisted she buy, it would be cooler under the trees. This part of Croatia was thick with them, the trunks tight-packed, keeping out the light. She frowned. Her arms were still pale. There was no chance she’d get to work on her tan today, not on the route Nick planned to lead them. He picked up his compass, turning and turning it, not hiding his look of impatience. He caught her eye, but she straightened before he had a chance to say anything. “Ready,” she said."
